Drag radials, that's all I drive on the street. I was on a regular asphalt road.
This video below is about the same time as the first posted. Only difference is I'm on street tires, 5.3, 208/212 cam, 3.42 gears, g80, tt3000 converter.
4.8 seconds - 2wd - street tires

Nothing more, nothing hidden. I've always laid everything out there on my setups. No doubt I have to feather the throttle everywhere to keep from spinning though. I can't launch like a 4wd that's for sure, but I believe the right combination and the right driver 3 second 0-60's is capable in a 2wd on the street.

These helped my launches, but I'm still dialing everything in to make it even better.

The secret to Matt's hard launches are his suspension. And even then it's not a secret, just that people overlook it. Originally Posted by 1slow01Z71

He's a bit of suspension geek really.
