Spinning the tires is fun, and looks cool, but it's really a bad thing. It demonstrates lack of traction and control. If you mash the pedal and it hooks up and goes like stink, that's what it's supposed to do.

There's no such thing as too much power. Only not enough control.

You’re missing the point, I don’t necessarily need to spin the tires but not being able to like others leads me to believe I may be low on power.

You may very well be mistaken.

In addition, most people want to eliminate wheelspin, so perhaps your cars previous owner set up his driveline and suspension properly to eliminate the wheelspin. Why take the wheel backwards from round to square other than to stroke your ego or show off to your friends?
