Is wheel hop bad for your car? Options

[nate95]

for some reason my tires dont spin when i take off the on the line,, they just hop and it makes my car jump around like crazy and it doesn't feel like its good on the car,, is this a bad thing? how can i keep it from hopping so much?

when you hit a bump while driving the tires keeps contact with the road.
when you get wheel hop the tire is actually doing just that.
hopping and each time it lifts, the engine is still accelerating and next time it meets pavement it slams down and now all the power is transfered at once. now causing more hoping. HOW can that be good?


launch at a lower rpm.
