Wait til you get gears, then you'll really have a problem!
But what you need is some more tire and practice. My wife's 01, with new Bridgestone Potenza RE-750 275/40 on 9" rims and 4.10 gearing, hooks much better than my 3.73 equiped stock rims and tires (of course, at 25K miles, the tires are about shot! - Goodyears ) But my point is, even an extra inch will help. But it takes practice! I can launch either of our GTs, pretty hard, with minimal tire spin - and that's the trick...get those tires to turn as quickly as possible without losing traction.

That sounds easy but, I have fairly new tires and I can't even punch it while on a roll with out going *very* sideways. This is on 17x9's with bfg kdw's 275/40/17 me thinks. I've tried a few punches at random rpm's in a very secluded area's and I always manage to lose traction in the worst way. Granted this is while in first gear but, it kinda sucks.
