Two solutions.
1) Use a RWD car.
2) Don't be so agressive when putting the power down. Most high powerd cars can't floor it off the line as you loose traction and time. Yes you need to get the throttle to the floor as fast as possible but in a controlled way, so you accelerate as fast as possible, keeping traction at all time and not inducing torque steer. I will post a video clip in a mo of me flooring it off the line on street tyres.
You will see the car next to me leave me behind.

Here we go. Major wheel spin problem here, tyre compound was way to hard and I just couldn't stop it from spinning making my launches utter poo. this was the worse one, like I say, I just floored it.

Ignore the smoke coming from the right hand exhaust . That'll get fixed when the engine comes out
