Traction, or lack thereof....

Post by Steve @ VersaTune »

OK. So I've been driving a G2 Mazdaspeed3 for a while now as my daily driver. Traction is marginal with the stock tune. It's totally non-existent with the VersaTune High Load tune on it. I couldn't get any traction till 5th gear today.
It's hard to take meaningful road logs when you can't keep the tires on the ground.....

P.S. VT for Gen2 is REALLY close now :)

Just a SRI for now. I'll have some dyno charts pretty soon.

I definitely got spoiled with the grip of AWD on the MS6.
