Traction control?

Heavy car, small motor. Not really a surprise.

It's a 190hp/190 ft/lbs 2.7L V6 and you're honestly wondering why it can't break the tires loose on a 4100+lb wagon...?

Put her in nootch.
Advance the accelerator until your tach reads 7,000+ rpm.
Keep your foot down and count to 10.
Don't cheat and go early (it's a flywheel inertia thing)!!
Gently pull the shifter back into "D".

If you're planning to replace the tires soon and the paint is just okay, not show quality, wipe some brake fluid on the tires with a rag. You'll light them right up. Be sure to get all the brake fluid off the body afterward and don't go around any corners afterward. The hard part will be to keep them planted later.

If this is your daily driver to get towork, find something else to play with and not ruin your car.

In high school, I watched s guy do that with the bias ply tires of the time. Very impressive right off idle. When the police showed up, we all got away but him. Every time he's try to speed up, burn out city. I'd say 900-1000 rpm should suffice for brake fluid wiped tires.
