- Wow, great question. How much ( % ) wheel slip in encountered at 200ish speeds? Besides a heavy foot, is this caused by aero drag? (I assume this is the answer) David in Durango, can hardly break the

- Yes our problems were created by DRAG.... with a given weight... you have X amount of Traction, If you have the HP available it will overcome that traction and the tires spin, Bout that simple. So th

- The electric Fusion had more than 6% tire spin when it went 186 in the quarter. Somewhere around 8% went 176 in the quarter, but 204 in the 5th with 207 exit. This thing had lots of power. The fuel c

- 10% seems huge! (obviously) This means 20 mph on a 220 run? My guess is this varies w/ salt conditions. Anyone know if the slip % changes w/ speed? How would we know what causes the slip? Aero drag,
