Of course when you are running big power they can be more difficult to get off the line than a RWD car. Just down to driving skill at the end of the day. My FWD ST is getting on for 300bhp now and not once have I struggled to get it off the line quickly in the dry. Go easy on the throttle in 1st, then nail it in 2nd, hint of scrabble from the front tyres as it comes on boost but then your off!
