Traction in reference to 1/4 mile time?

ok im my a4, almost every time when it shifts from 1rs to second, the rear of the car will slide to the left about 4-6 inches if not more and burn a bit of rubber. its a pretty major chirp

how much will this hurt my 1/4 mile time?

Depends how much your spinning, are you spinning on the launch? Each shift, just chirping 1-2 with some tire spin shouldnt be worth more than .1-.2

Newb.... yes its your tires dude. Do you have a shift kit in there???? It aint nothing else but tires you need. I'd say a tenth with a lil chirp and spin....2 tenths with spinning the tire.
