Even from a rolling start at 8mph, when I open the throttle fully it hops. It's almost as if the chassis can't handle it. Will the Bushings GM fix, fix this? I have looked around and havnt really found a definitive answer for the rolling start. I would just like to be able to drive the car without feeling like I am gonna break it. Sorry if i am re-hashing, but i cant really figure out if this car is really made to be drivin' hard. Im really sure most of you are sick of seeing post about this, but I have only had the car for 3 days, and I am just afraid I may really hurt this thing. Should I just baby it???

get the GM bushings first (doesn't cost anything) and then decide if you need to do more...

Is the traction control on? You may be experiencing the computer engaging rather than wheel hop which you can also get with full throttle starts from a standstill.

You can flog the V like a red headed stepchild around a road course and it will ask for more. There is no need to baby it. However, if you prefer to drive it like a drag car, you need to to either work carefully on your launch techniques or prepare to be disappointed. This is not intended to be a drag car.

Of course, you can always get a car with less power and/or an automatic tranny, but what fun would that be?

how come I dont experience wheel hop or burn the tires simply from accelerating in 1st.....I only hop/burn the tires when shifting from 1-2 and 2-3 and a lil from 3-4......Do I maybe have one of those weak Ls6'S, IF I DO IM GONNA BE PISSED lol LOL LOL :banghead: ???

What? You have wheel hop? :hmm:

Never heard o' tat b4 :rolleyes:

A,

If you're in a cold weather climate you'll be experiencing alot more of this. Even here in VA I can hop the car from a roll in 1st or 2nd. Cold tires, cold street = bad hop. There is no quick cure. And yes I have the GM bushings installed.

At first, I bad had wheel hop at the slightest provocation. I installed the BMR kit and now I've got to get on it before it starts to hop. Yes, cold and wet weather make it worse. I think you'll appreciate the GM bushings, I hear they're similar to the BMR, so they don't elimiate hop, but they'll make it significantly less easy to induce.
