2.79's may have something to do with it.

P.S. delete this before a Chevy guy finds this and turns it into an owned pic v.v

I've got a C4 and 2.79's and I've managed it a few times. I think traction plays a large part if you're having so much trouble now, try some balder tires.

Chevy guy here,owned, lol . nah, honestly i think the only good things ford has everhad going for them are mustangs and their trucks. I still prefer Chevy trucks but I do like the fords. I took all visible ford emblems off my stang first thing. But lets not make this a which is better thread. For what its worth though, my best friend has a 74 vette and he has trouble gettin it to burn but it'll chirp between gears.

Are you actually in first? The shift pattern on automatic cars isn't always that obvious. I don't have one, but I recall something about a circle and a dot, one of which locks out first gear for better traction in wet weather.
