Well, maybe this isn't your first car but you are definately new to launching at a track. 2.4's on new nitto dr's?
Plenty of people are doing 1.7's on said tire. Even when mine were almost bald they still gave me mid 1.8's.
To imply that your doing everything right and still getting crappy 60' times defies logic.
Find an empty parking lot somewhere, and just practice getting out of the hole. Try rolling into your throttle. Try loading your susp. by brake stalling to maybe 1400 rpm's and then hit it.
You will find something that works for your set up, I guarantee it.

Id practice alittle more. Im not sure why you would even waste your time going there if everyone knows it sux. Then again if you werent driving on a oil slick in the gulf you should have done a better 60 ft.
