Dude. Grammar. Punctuation. I have no idea what you are asking, but I may understand your issue.

What you are experiencing is normal. Traction control, even with the ZL1, is not the all around answer. You, and everyone with this amount of power, looses traction upon heavy acceleration during cool temperatures.

Personally, I only drive with the Eagle F1-G2 tires from May until the last track weekend of the season. During the winter months, I store my Eagle F1-G2 tires and mount my Sotozero's. I have 30,000 miles on my 2013 ZL1, with the majority of those miles on the Sotozero's. During heavy acceleration in cool temps I do loose traction, but not as much as I do with the Eagle F1-G2 tires. I drive with confidence knowing that these tires will hold.

I recommend that if you are going to drive in cooler temperatures, and if you want to have more traction, pick up a set of the Sotozero's. They are pricy, but rotating winter tires in with summer tires will help to extend the life of your Eagle F1-G2 tires.

Would you rather spend some more money on good winter tires or risk loosing traction because it got cold one night? Add to that, winter tires have better 'cold' braking abilities, which can help you from rear ending some jackass who decides to stop short at a traffic light...

Best of luck with your decision.
