Is it just me or do these cars get an obscene amount of wheel hop.
if i launch and get the tires spinning the car hops. i find it very hard to race because of this. every single time i spin the tires the car hops like a mofo.
what could be the problem and how do i fix it?

If you are racing, and getting that much tire spin then you must be revving really high. I never get wheel hop. Mabey you should check your tires. Could be over inflated.

get a 3sgte and then complain of wheel hop... my **** does it like crazy, even without launching.... bad springs or shock absorbers i suppose... just upgrade your suspension and you should be fine

not revving high at all
rev it to 1200 and get wheel hop

You're revving it to low, hahahaha.

I used to have the same experience with my 95. Personally, with good tires, i got a great start with 4500, i'm sure i could've fine tuned myself a little bit more, but i never got the chance....dang guy ran me into a median.

Your suspsension sucks...get a better suspension.

serious? rev to low?

That's what i think, everyonce in a while, i don't mean to get a race start (like at a stop light all by my self), and i really wanted to just go forward, haha. So that means my rpm's were around 2500 or so, and i get wheel hop. What are your rpms when you get your wheel hop?

i can take off at around 3000 and i get no wheel hop.... get better tires and suspension

hops at about 1200 and above

try a 3500 start.

and also, tell me exactly what you do, like after you dump the clutch, do you slam the gas down, and stuff like that.

yes and no
ive tried both putting it down and not puttin it down.
oh and when its raining, no wheel hop. foound that out the fun way

Well, the rain is common smartz, haha. Less friction. I would say hyping your rpm's up some more when you get off the line, that should get rid of the low rpm wheel hop, if you're putting more power to the wheels at once, then it also creates less friction, and then of course cetchs, you're at a high rpm, and you're off!!

What physics class did you take? That doesn't make any sense at all.

i didn't read it after i wrote it, sorry, haha. I should've said, if you put more power to the wheels at once, and create spin, the friction is lost. But, it will come back, and that's your start. Does that make more sence. I think i might be confusing my self, but i'm sure he gets the idea

yeah i got the idea. i tried launching at 3000 and the tires spun but no wheel hop. the only thing is its quicker not launching because i get too much spin

just kinda play with the launches and how much gas you put in after you launch

i also forgot to tell you, if you're racing, or just want to play around even more, let a little air out of your front tires.

let air out of your tires = step one
rev up to around 2000 rpm with the clutch out far enough that its grabbing and you let out anymore your goin to move= step two
light turns green dump the clutch hit the gas you might even do this at a lil lower maybe not sure yet = step 3
