Question launch question

This may sound like a dumb question, but when I floor the car in first gear I hear very little squeal from the rear tires. ESP is flashing and the car is definitely spinning the rear tires, sometimes to the point the rear end comes around. Does anyone else experience this, or do I have stealth tires? I have PS'2 with 36 to 37 lbs. of pressure.

Sounds like it is working correctly. You can get the car to throw a bit with ESP. Where i find it most helpful is in pulling back off the throttle when the FRONTs start to push a bit.
