Anyway, the other day it was posted here that the new Camaro would feature independent suspension and it made me remember a lot of issues that some friends of mine who own Cobras have....wheel hop. Granted, these guys are running some serious horsepower, but the Camaro will have 450HP and 600+HP. Won't the wheel hop be a major problem? Wouldn't it be wiser to stick with a solid rear axle design?

Welcome to the site!
I think it could go one of two ways: Think the GTO and Corvette. Tje GTOs IRS was not very refined and is notorious for wheel hop as well. However, the Corvette's IRS is much more refined and has worked well for years. I believe with the Zeta architecture being GMs backbone for the next few years that they will put a great deal of time into the IRS and deliver a quality product.
