Wheel hop is an issues with the stick shift cars.

I can't launch my 2010 Challenger SRT at any serious rpm without bad wheel hop.
The first pass I tried to do a 4k rpm launch and thought the rear end was coming out of the car.
I have to launch it soft which kills ET.
Best I've got so far is a 13.05 with a soft launch (although my car isn't completely stock).
I have upgrades planned that are supposed to help, 17 inch drag radials are supposed to help a lot.
I've already bought the wheels, gotta buy tires next.

If you want to simply play and have fun at the track a stick is a blast as long as they have a stick class.

If you want to be consistent, an automatic is the way to go.
