    Just a question. What do you put in the back of a vette to prevent wheel hop?????????? As far as I know there is NOTHING on the market that works.

    i'm with you bro! i've never had wheel hop issues and i've made over 50+ passes in my z. i dont think daniel has ever had a issue either that i know of. he didnt the day we were at the track not saying that some dont but in my experience i havent. i know i'll blow a rear sooner or later but no more than someone running juice. and my z runs 11.9 to 12.2 so it's decently powered with 1.9 60's.
