Wheel Hop lately when i floor my car it has tons of wheel hop the tires are starting to get to the wear bars but it wheel hops so bad that it sounds like it is bouncing off the rev limiter ay suggestions?
If it used to be fine, then the first thing I would check (after a visual inspection) is the shocks, starting with the passenger side one first.
The passenger one gets beat to all hell and if it goes you'll get hop. Unbolt the bottom mount and check the shock for good resistance to movement. It should force itself extended with maybe 40 lbs of pressure, and resist being moved quickly.
If it has signs of fluid leakage, it is probably toast, and if it moves easily or doesn't expand itself, it's shot.

thats funny you say that because it looks like the passenger side tire is missing chuncks of rubber possibly from wheel hop?
