What's wheelspin?
:)
Prevention is better than cure, so get it moving first and then boot it.

You're going about it in completely the wrong way then. As said originally, just don't spin. If you do accidentally light up the front tyres, then simply let off the throttle a bit !

Which is irrelevent as you're out of the powerband.

You haven't a clue have you? It's sod all to do with the revs but more about the power output.

PLEASE PLEASE go to a racing school and learn to drive a performance car PROPERLY before you empty your wallet at the tyre fitters or end up in an accident.

I don't think a 620si is really a performance car...

My mum's Polo seems impossible to drive in the wet without wheelspinning or stalling. There's very little inbetween on the clutch. That said, she slips the clutch like a mad person to set off (I've no idea how, as in the 20 minutes I drove it, I couldn't get the hang of it, even span 1st to 2nd). This was with Pirelli rubber all round...

So if I were able to do 4k with the acelerator say @ 20% then I shouldnt wheel spin, where as if I have it @ 100% I will? This then raises the problem at me wheel spining @~2k which will be about 5-10%...

Depends on alot of things though such as whether you do mostly town or country driving, whether you drive predominantly in hilly areas etc.

Correct you've got it.
..maybe you haven't. You'll only wheelspin if you appy too much throttle.
