. I don't think the car was going that fast, but the wheels were

. Even got a

from a guy in an Accord

You're having way too much fun with your car. I think you should loan it to me for a weekend

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

My AT 01 CLS /w H/I/P does the same thing at 55mph.. All i have to do it drop the hammer and make sure it downshifts into 2nd. And it's all tire spin.. However i don't enjoy it as much as you do.

I do it to scare people in the car...

Probably time for new tires eh?

I know I really need to get the car dyno'd and to the track, now that it's finally working properly

. I think I had been running the car for about a couple months without the IC pump working, it was losing it's prime due to an air leak. Now that it's all good I've got no pinging

.

Tires are only two months old

. Stock exhaust.

I figure if you havent but exhaust by now that you probably do not want to deal with it day to day driving. I feel the same way, i would enjoy the sound occasionally but dont always want it there.
You might want to consider an ecutout, which would net you about 15 whp (check with scalbert dynos), and you can keep it closed when you are driving normally.
