I bought the car in Dec, so I'm not really sure what'll happen when the track isn't freezing cold. Right now we still have my winter tires w/studs on them so there's no traction there. The Pirelli's that came on it are summer tires, but I've read in a couple magazines people are having a little trouble with the V6 & the SS locking up on a launch b/c the gears. With the Pirelli's I can be going 35 and floor it, and it'll spin the tires, but again, that's in the cold..
