really uneven rear tread wear? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

why does the Boxster's rear wheel hop? I noticed in one magazine's(R&T?) 0-60 test they complained about "ridiculus amounts of rw hop".
I noticed this on another Boxster taking off during an Atuocross way before I bought mine and thought it was driver error. None of the rear wheel drive cars ever displayed this,better drivers?

Axel hop is a common character trait of cars with Independent rear suspesions. Solid rear axel cars are better for launhes( stangs, camaro's etc etc)
