is it just me or is 2nd gear...

is it just me or do other have problems with traction towards the top of second gear?

my car is a bit more broken in now and one thing that I've noticed is if I wind out second gear a bit, above 4000rpm, the front wheels get real squirly. It's not so much Torque Steer pulling it's the wheels break loose under the power. With traction control/ESC off, I can easily bounce off the limiter as they spin.

Is this normal?

Quite normal. I get the blinking light in-dash saying i'm breaking traction...
