Really? - i thought wheel hop is more to do with the tyres bouncing. More suspension setup than engine mounts I think.
Apparently lower tyre pressure helps reduce wheel hop - did you guys drop down to 20psi for these runs?
The wheel hop I have seen is really violent in the Euro - I never want to experience that again. Also - as you guys have verified - you still get good acceleration with just 2500rpm.
I'd dropped the pressure in the fronts to 23psi, and I still experienced wheel hop on one launch. However it wasn't as bad as some of the wheel hop I've had on the street.
Yep, wheel hop is very violent in the Euro, but I don't think it'll break anything. I haven't looked into it that much, but I think it's caused by a combination of tyre pressure, traction, and suspension.
Go on.....get out there on the street drop the clutch fairly quickly from 3000+rpm and floor it!.....you know you just want to kid yourself you're blazing away with an M60!!!! hehehe.
Ermm.. To much wheel hop causes stress on the engine mounts...
And with the Euro being vibration free due to the soft compound of the mounts.. It's more suceptible to cracking....

Yes, that's a given too much will cause a problem. I think my comments may've conveyed the wrong impression as they were filled with sarcasm (especially the last very sarcastic one about an M60, and this first one

It is something to be avoided and not made a habit of, but shouldn't lead to immediate fear of impending failure when it happens as it will inevitably happen at least once to all of us here.
