Launch at 2000RPM and the wheel hop will be eliminated.

Dropping the clutch past 5k rpm is a great way to get to your next clutch quickly. The 8 is not the best 0-60 car and in order to get their faster you have to dump the clutch at high rpms. Not worth it in my opinion.

Put a bag of cement in the boot - gets rid of wheel hop 100% ;)

That would work.

I feared that the statement was going to lead into something more like "put the bag over your head and breathe deeply"

It's one louder


Serious ... a set of Progress sways will help with wheel hop.

Other than that ... you can put on traction bars or learn to feather the clutch.

:lol: Now I am picturing you boosting around town with your rear end sagging due to the many bags of dry concrete in your trunk.

I sometimes try launching at 12k just to get 1 louder than you
