This 18 hellcat charger is crazy ,out of control! I dont know what people do with 90 more horse power! I had it in sport and took off a little fast, this thing
Went wild going alittle sideways and doing a smoke show. Made me look like a maniac, lol! Definatly got to watch out next time :)

Ya if youre just hammering down youre going to get bit. Sounds like youre just flooring it. Thats a no-no.

My 500HP mustang will do the same exact thing if you mash the gas. Learning to feather the pedal is the key to driving the car (and any car with decent power).

Funny thing is I wasn't flooring it, I would say about halfway at most. I took off from a stop, had I floored it I imagine it would fry the tires off.
Well thats weird. I have a 3.09 RE and half throttle even in Track doesnt do that.

What tires and how old? Half throttle and still a smoke show then I think you need better tires.

If you have the A8 just move the shifter over to the left and shift manually. It wont do the crazy downshift when you nail it and will keep it much more controllable. Maybe do that for a while to get to know the car for a while before letting the car do a downshift (or two depending on your throttle input) and getting away from you. I drive in M all the time. I like having the smoother more controllable shifts.
