SS/TC in the Rain

For the road course guys, how does your car accelerate in the rain coming off the apex?

My car is bone stock... even after easing into the throttle I couldn't give it more then 50% throttle without wheel hop

It was horrible, even on the straights I would get up to 80kph think I have enough traction.. press the throttle, the moment boost kicked in Wheel Hop...

I mean on the corners and such I was zipping along but once on the straights, everyone is going full throttle and I just disappear....

My question is... obviously the stock tires play a role.. but more so would an engine mount help?

I know neither will be a cure all situation in a crazy down poor

I don't wheel hop. But, if the front tires start to spin I'll get a really bad push in the front end. I'm still stock suspension/springs.

Tuned with some bolt ons though.
