Looks like one of them ghetto cars where the rear suspension went out. :D
What were you launching at? Slip/dump/slip-dump? (Just curious)

Actually the car has Eibach springs with new KYB's all around. Launching it around 4500 slipping the clutch on launch. If I dump it all it will do is bog and give me a 60 foot time above 2.0 sec. Best 60 slipping it was 1.78, and on the replay videos the nose stays up all the way through 1st gear.

If those aren't KYB AGXs then that'd be the reason for the squating rear. When I go to the track, I set my AGXs at 2 in the front and 4 in the back. The car is level.
