Wheel-Hop
So, I'm new to this board and its a great resource of information about everything G35, But I can't quite seem to find anything in the search about how to stop the car from giving me a heck of alot of wheel-hop.
I've driven 03-04 Cobras and gotten less hop out of their IRS then my G. So what do ya recommend doing to combat this issue?

Are you guys kidding, our cars have pretty severe wheel hop if launched wrong.
The trick is feathering the clutch. If you do a clutch drop it feels as if the suspensions going to blow out of the car.
I suggest 2700 to 3000 RPM and gently feathering the clutch right at the point of hop, then transition to 100% power. It takes practice and tires.

r u guys kidding lol!! this car has crazy wheel hop. As a matter of fact yesterday it was a lil rainy and i was accelerating normalyl from a stop sign and my tires lost traction where the thick white painted line is at all stop signs and started hopping insanely, so i pressed the clutch in and slowly went to 2nd gear and it stopped. but yea this thing hops for anything (p.s. i have 285 tires too!)

I have experienced wheel hop, but that was back when I first picked the G up. The solution seems to be getting sway bars to counteract hop to a good degree. Like ResIpsa said don't launch over 3000 rpms and expect to be able to WOT it from a dig.
It sure did scare the **** out of the cars around me when it did happen. It actually helped me kick a C5's a$$ one time because the guy was scared sh!tless. (not promoting street racing (hypothetical occurance))
