simply put.....no. I had the luxury of beating on one for the better part of an afternoon at Gateway Raceway about a month ago. Point, stomp, and hold on!

Good news. Part of the reason I dumped my CTS-V was that damn wheel hop. I am old school. I feel handicapped if I cant pull off a bad *** burn out now and then.

I turned off stability, and lauched @ about 1600 and had NO wheelhop what so ever. Hooked pretty nice, only thing that kills me is the transmission "granny" shifts constantly, but New Era or Vector should be able to help with that!
