I don't get any wheel hop with my '99 which has 19' on it with 275's on the back.
I know just where the clutch will "bite" and can launch fast and hard smoothly with no slip...

also, if you're going to teach someone to drive a sports car, learning how to correctly blip the throttle down shifting takes a huge load off the drive train...

Installing new ROW 030 struts helped a little just as a new front motor mount (had to re-use the side pieces) did. I always wondered how the newer cars equipped with the sports crono pac could spin to something like 6000RPM and than launch netting 0-60 times in the magical 3's and4's. For a short time I ran some old fronts (225's) on the rear and could hardly notice a difference (including launching)except as cornering speeds increased (and especially during transient maneuvers).
