Default Wheel Hop?

I'm still waiting for my Z06 to come in but the dealer let me take an 02 Z06 with 500 miles out. The roads here in CT are cold and have a little sand on them but I was very supprised that when I tried to launch the Vette it would go into wheel hop, is this normal ( please say it ain't true) [/img] Report this to a moderator DoInsert(' :grouphug: ');[/img] Report this to a moderator DoInsert(' :sad: ');

Try the search feature - many threads on wheel hop. '02s and '03s have different shock valving than the '01s and are less prone (but not immune) to wheel hop. Launch technique is the key; too much rpm and dropping the clutch is almost sure to get it hopping. :seeya
