are you Camaro guys getting wheel hop too?

just curious since you guys have IRS like us Challenger guys. the Challenger 6 speeds are plagued with hop, but wasnt sure if the Camaro 6 speeds were too.

I've heard talk here of wheel hop but this is what I've experienced,no wheel hop on dry roads, once in a while on wet roads I feel what seems to be wheel hop although I am thinking a lot of it has to do with traction control. When traction control is off I don't get wheel hop but plenty of tire spin.

i have gotten wheel hop on occasion, but not that much. i dont roast my tires that much though. i have owned the car for a little over a year and have smoked the tires 3 times and out of those three times the wheel hop happened once. i think it was because i was on an uneven road.

Yes but not because of the 6-speed tranny.

trailing arms, toe links, subframe inserts. endlinks. and 'timing' the suspension

fancey word meaning once you do your suspension...loosen and retighten the frame bushings so they are not loaded from the suspension changes.



wheel hop. i laugh at thee.
