My corolla is very slow off the mark


sorry, can you give me a clue. is this about engine power, or wheel/s spin, or clutch slip, or launch style/technique.


It's slow because it gets hardly any traction. And i've tried every technique for getting it off the mark. In my friends integra you can dump the clutch from 6000rpm and it only wheelspins a little bit then grips hard and accelerates. He can pull 2 car lengths on me just off the launch. In my car if you drop the clutch from 3000rpm it will just sit there and smoke the front wheels. You have to be so careful letting the clutch up not to start spinning.
I know FWD cars don't launch very good at the best of times but my car is seriously bad. It only has stock suspension and wheels at the moment, what would be the best value mod i can do to improve traction? Would wider front tyres and stiffer rear springs help?
