Default Really hard Launch???? Sucks

I was out riding around yesterday and my buddy has 98 z28 with a Sts rear mount turbo setup. Well I was stopped at the light and he pulled next to me, The light turned green and then the bad happened. Usually I have no traction 1st or 2nd but this time i did. I launched on him and heard a really loud pop I let out of it and pulled into the gas station and noticed that my windshield cracked from the bottom passenger side to the top a little towards the driver side. So I guess its time for a new windshield and subframe connectors.

That does suck! You better go ahead and get torque box reinforcements while you're at it.

that car looks bad ***. i would definitly do the torque boxes if you havent, subframes are a must, but look at the whole underside of the car. check the firewall.
