I own a manual '04, Puse Red. I took it out to our local drag way last night, and was kind of disapointed on how much wheel hop this car has. If you lay of the gas a little it doesnt hop to bad, but wont launch as hard. Does anyone know of any mods for the frame to help out? I have checked BMR's website and found nothing. How about better tires that stick, Nitto? Any one has some feed back.

The tries will help you launch but to get rid of the wheel hop the best thing i've heard of is a sway bar and polyurethane bushings

Legionaire is right and you'll also need a BMR mount, someone told me they make polyurethane bushings for the rear!?! If you can find all three (I stock the mount and the sway bar & end links, just need the poly bushings) then it should eliminate the majority! BTW Nitto's hurt more than help(on hop,w/o mods)

According to BMR, their "heavy duty drive shafts" will help decrease wheel hop. here's the link : http://www.bmrfabrication.com/GTO.htm
