I don't know about you guys, but my wheels don't hop until I launch at about 3,000, which is what I shoot for if I'm trying to launch hard. I'd imagine the sedan has less weight on the rear tires than us coupe guys, so subtract a little from that. Just play around until you find the sweet spot... there are too many factors like weight and tire wear.

You're trying to induce wheel hop? LOL, that's stupid. Don't you know that wheel hop 1-isn't good for your car and 2-makes for slower starts? People who have cars that wheel hop usually mod them to get rid of the wheel hop for just those reasons.

Er... I meant I get hop wheel at a bit over 3,000, so I shoot for about 3000. I try to avoid it. Sorry, disconnect between fingers and brain.

That is kinda wild. Suv tires arent rated for thoose speeds, if you roll, uhoh.
I was a passenger in a 1990 q45 doning 160+, driver gets stopped.
kids Dad a fbi, whips out daddys badge. Cop looks at his partner then says, to slow it down, was never so scared in my life.
Slow down, 3x the speed limit, yea cops are really keeping it safe.
