I havent been on the scene with those cars since I sold mine but didnt they fix the wheel hop issues in 2015? I know the older stick cars were brutal for it.
Nope. My 1320 w/ the OEM Nexen 275/40R20 drag radials either dead-hooks or spins & hops. I can only imagine how bad a stick car can be. That's one of the reasons for suggesting extra wheels to use tires with taller sidewalls that absorb a lot of the hit. My car may not have hooked 100% of the time since I started using 305/40R18 ET Street S/S, but it hasn't hopped w/ 'em.

Re diff brace: if the car is still under warranty, has a braced added, and there is a differential problem, the dealer will not honor the warranty for that issue. Despite any argument that a brace should reduce issues, this is what I've been told.

Despite any argument that a brace should reduce issues, this is what I've been told. I have no doubt that is true, unless Stellantis issues a statement stating otherwise very specifically. The rears seem to have proven themselves to be the weak link in the drivetrain when pushed hard on sticky tracks.

The autos are quicker everywhere...drag strip or road course. I have a 2010 SRT 6spd that has gone 13:10 at 109 sliding the clutch and slipping the tires. Wheel hop is a problem. The 6.4 auto cars will run 12.20 off the show room floor all day. I have dedicated drag cars, so I now road course mine. Mostly at Sebring and Daytona. Motor is bone stock and at Daytona it will see 167 MPH at the Start /Finish line lap after lap. Here is a video of me toying with a BMW M2 that was lighter and "claimed" more horse power. Towards the end you see me leave a ZL1 Camaro in the corners. The ZL1 with almost 250 more horsepower smoked me on the long straight. Amazing how many people come up to me and say " I had no clue Challengers could turn". check out... https://youtu.be/fmINjZazD4M
