i would like to put my $.02 in. I own two 6gcs, one is a 94 ST, all engine mounts have been replaced with factory ones and it does not wheel hop when launching, even at high rpm, never has, and now it has better suspension (eibach sport line springs, Sus.Tech. sway bars,hawk brake pads, and triangulated front strut bar, used GT one from firewall to towers and a brace between towers) PS. The car has 200,000mi on it and it still dont wheel hop. Then the other 6gc is a 94 GT Hatchback, 195,000 and the engine mounts have not been replaced, the suspension mods are exactly the same as the ST, this one WHEEL HOPS LIKE A MOTHER****ER!!!! Sometimes even in the rain. Now i dont know why exactly, but i have lowered psi in my tires and all that stuff, new shocks even (KYB) and it still does. So my best guess is the engine mounts. Just putting in my experiences.
