What causes wheel hop?

 

IRS..........

 

I don't get it.

 

motor trend had one for long term vehicle. they were not happy with the noises it was making by 50k miles. i think they literally said that if a bmw owner would have bought the cts-v they would not have been happy with the "reliability" of the car (meaning the noises coming from suspension etc.) i am considering one due to the cheap financing and the great deals but it probably is not worht it...

 

a lot of it has to do with the geometry as well. Bu it's a problem for all IRS cars. They allow for a lot more movement so a hard launch shocks the rear suspension the tires basically skip along the ground.

 

Isn't wheel hop one of the reasons BMW won't allow the traction control to be completely disabled on the new manual M5? At least that is what C&D wrote in a comparison article. Seems like there are some degenerates out there that would launch the car hard and either be unhappy with it or break it.

 

i love mine

 

why the f&%k do newbs always dig up hella old threads to get their post count going? it's always a response like this one too. this should be grounds for a one week ban or something.

 

Edit: ^^^ I clicked because the last date stamp was 11-15-07, I didn't realize the thread was so old.

I've got a 2006 V, Sachs perf. shocks and Hotchkis swaybars. The car goes and turns like something half its size.

 

why is it you jump into threads *****ing about something that doesn't need to be *****ed about?

 

there has been a rash of noobs trying to get their post count up by resurrecting old threads. presumably to sell something. the audi section was plagued by this recently.

ps. i can ***** all i want, i never have anything else to do at the office

 

I'd tend to think it wasn't the case for this guy
