Heck I used to spin on the initial hit until I upgraded my tires. I have also spun at over 140 MPH nearing redline in 5th gear at Willow Springs on a cold day.

The fact is that traction is already at it's limit with the centrifugals. If you think our M3's can handle an additional 100 RWTQ in the low to mid range without traction issues, then good luck to you but you have been warned.
I can think of an application where it would be useful
