When I launch I can feel the car twisting and it feels like it makes it loose power. I feel it even worse when it shifts into second it feels like it is twisting bad and feels like it would be much faster if it was stable. Would sub frame connectors help this problem? What else would help launching since I am getting a 3200 stall soon?

get the slp sub frame connectors, and a road cage and a shock tower brace.

+1 except i went with the TTP subframes, its all personal preference though. id def go weld in though but thats just me
dont think ya need a road cage, but tower brace and sub frames will help a lot

I think I might get the bolt on and do it myself and than get them welded in. Just so I know there on there right

Does it feel like the frame is twisting or that the entire car is twisting (as in, rolling) when you launch?

Feels to me like the frame is twisting.

if you feel it twist like that, go with road cage.

I guess with the mods in your sig I have a hard time believing that the frame is going to heck when you launch....what kind of suspension parts do you have on your car? Fresh shocks? Any rear pieces? Sometimes things that feel like body flex are actually due to other things.

Its really not the launch its when it is shifting into second you can feel the frame twisting. I mean im 90% sure if I put some sfc's on it it will cure the problem.

Sounds like it's driveline-related, not suspension-related. How do your engine mounts and trans mounts look? Your frame isn't "twisting" if you're only running high 12s, especially if it's not doing it at launch.

my car has 30,000 miles im sure mounts are fine

good point, checking the mounts is a good idea.

no way your frame is twisting if you are running high 12s.....

The rear axle basically is being turned by the driveshaft. That's probably 97% what you're feeling. It's a natural reaction of solid axle cars.

SFC's won't hurt in any case. The only drawback is some people think it transmits a little more noise and they'll add a tiny bit of weight. Not an issue for me.. of course I accept that this car is a performance car and not a luxury Cadillac

Lol same here. I get sick of people saying I hate riding in camaro's/corvettes it hurts my back, the ride sucks, you can feel every bump. Just whinyness lol. Although I cant stand rattling exhaust

Get some good shocks and that changes a lot of that.

Shocks help with traction or with ride quality? I already have great ride quality in my opinion

Mostly ride and handling, but they can help with both. From your previous post I kind of gathered you weren't satisfied with your ride.

No I don't see how I was saying they ride nice....

If you still have stock deCarbons, they ride like absolute ragged ***. Take a spin in a car with a good set of shocks, and you'll be amazed at what a truly "good ride" is. Good shocks also help with launching.

Only having 30k miles doesn't mean your motor, transmission, and torque arm mounts might not be ugly...remember, the car is 12 years old now, and rubber dry-rots and cracks, especially when subjected to high load/torque applications. Start with the small stuff first before throwing money at trying to fix a problem without knowing what's causing it.
