Ahh. I've chirped mine inadvertently a number of times, but then I have 20k on the OEM all seasons. Seems to happen more often since put on the R2C.

I think the best way to chirp your tires is to take your exhaust off, and then reset your ecu. Once you've done all that replace you air filters.....

I have an auto G37S, and i added the Hypertech Sport Programmer. Seems to help the acceleration off the line. Definitely makes it more fun to drive in the city.

You're comlaining because you're AWD and have some better tires on?

Interesting reads. I googled as suggested and found a bunch of jeep and corvette owners whining about it. Is it in my imagination that there is less lag when i give it gas off the line?

Is this thing a placebo!? LOL

Actually not chirping is good, it shows the torque is going to the wheels instead of being wasted "chirping". Means the drivetrain and suspension are faster then the car; ala BMW.
