How much power are you running and what's you 1/4???

Look at my sig,

Doh! [:@] It was right there in front of me...

Just a thought... I wonder if it has to do with suspension, where one's suspension will handle the load of the launch differently than someone elses setup???

I don't know, maybe. Mine isn't any different than others on here. All I have is a set of lowers, boxed uppers with new bushings, kyb shocks, stock cut spings and some subframes. Also all my torque boxes are reinforced.

I'd be proud to flaunt some nice crinkles like that in my quarter

My car is extremely straight,but over time I aquired the same buckles.Mine is bone stock,but has factory sunroof.The roof also has some low spots around the sunroof.I straightened it once when I repainted it,but it slowly came back.
It is from launching hard.
If you ever seen a car body launch hard in slow motion high def,you can see the panels wiggle like jello.I would not worry about it.If its a race car you could perhaps X brace the hatch and then tie to the floor...

I was just about to say, isn't there some supports that go across the hatch area for support? I see them in the Honda Hatchbacks all the time, (although probably used for a different purpose?) but I am sure that might help some.

I believe it was Saleen that use to add one in the hatch cars (I remember a friend of ours had one in his Saleen), it basically was a tube that ran across the shock towers near the top to connect them to help reduce flex, same basic concept as the strut tower brace. I'm not sure how much that would help in the area your car seams to be flexing, odd it is at the back of the 1/4 windows when that area is behind the axle and subframe sections.
