Ford really need to fix this, it's responsible for those bad launches and ordinary times against Holden V8s.
And while they're at it fix those darned diff bushes and skinny axles that are prone to stick slip.
They're not a problem now but when you get a good blown engine hanging of them, look out

While i understand what you're trying to say the fact remains the G6ET can get high 12's, yes albeit with all the stars aligned, right air temp on a sticky track etc with a single spinner diff through the factory 245's...
So "traction issues" are a complex mix of circumstances..
There's more to it than just tyre width, the suspension geometry will also dictate how it puts its power down..
Better compounds, better ratios and better rear suspension geometry will help.. not just 1 element in isolation...
