Re: Wheel Hop (Clean Freak)
Freak
How many would you like to hear? You should get a lot of feed back on this one. Everything from run-flat tires as opposed to non run-flat tires. Z51 suspension as opposed to regular suspension. Sway bars help....they don't help. Cold surface as opposed to a warm surface Too much air pressure....too little air pressure. You don't know how to come out of the hole. What seems to be pretty consistent is that they run better at the track. Why? I don't know, could be the slick type tire, the surface they are running on. Or, maybe it's because they like it there.

Re: Wheel Hop (Clean Freak)
Hey Clean Freak welcome to the Forum! My Z06 does it more in sub 50F weather- hooks up a lot better above 80F. My understanding via the forum is that it (wheel hop) can be reduced by switching to less resilient/stiffer rear suspension bushings.Hope this helps some. Welcome!! :cool: :cool: :cheers: :steering: :steering:
