you shuddent rev to 7k and drop her, be nice to your baby.

clank clank, i dunno maybe u broke sumthin.

wheel hop is excactly what it says. its like you could do jumprope for a cuple seconds then take off. it doesnt sound all that good, and my change in my 2nd cup holder rattles like crazy. my sheet has also slid to the side a lil while hoppin like half a foot or sumthin, kinda scared me cuz i thought i would drift up on the guy next to me.

this was stopped tho,mm inserts do trik

as stated above never rev up to 7k and try and do a burn out. You will break something very quick. And yes it was probably wheel hop you heard. If you wanna burn the rubber, pull up on the e-brake and take the rpm's to about 3-4k and pop it. You will be able to burn you tire till it pops if you want. But please don't try and pop your clutch at 7k again...

Rev mark for a burnout for me is between 4000 and 4500. I did a 24 foot burnout skid mark with hardly any wheel hop.

The AFX front solid motor mount will get rid of most of the wheel hop. Get one at www.howellautomotive.com I have one and I love it.
