Is it just something wrong wit my car or is all st's have bad traction... even with 110hp my car spins and jumps from a take off pretty badly. My clutch is stock and is still very good, i got stock tires/rims but even so it just doesnt seem to have good traction so once its turboed i dun even wana think about all the spinning it will have from take off.

Easy answer. Its your suspension. Your car is able to sink back when it goes to launch when it sinks back on launch it takes weight off the front leaving your skinny crappy tires to lose traction. Get wider z rated tires and a new suspension setup and you will never chirp a tire unless you want to.
