it does when your trying to do a burnout Sticky. 70% of the time you'll spin one wheel or another. Its hard to get a good repeatable burnout and tire temp....which is super important if you want to turn a good et and not just a high trap.

It also helps in traction not just off the line. Last time I dragged my 335 I was one wheel spinning in 3rd gear at 80-90mph w cold drag radials. That sucked.

traction is everything, which is why a Jeep srt8 will beat lots of much faster cars down a 1/4 mile time and time again.
