Depends on the user, and the location. If I remember correctly, the LC was designed in a road setting? It was not meant for a prepped drag track. It was meant for unglued road course use.

People who know how to launch a car will in a short period of time beat the launch control for the sole fact that 'humans can adjust' what they are doing, and the computer cannot. The PCM has no idea what the track is like, and it doesn't adjust it's power during wheel spin or wheel hop. A human driver can make these adjustments (when the PCM isn't counter-acting them).

 

thought after watching your video, it looks like they let you run in the groove at SIR, this is huge for the street tire guys and is in my opinion the main reason why wheel hop is limited.

This is why you never see cars wheel hopping on slicks, because you have enough traction to accelerate swiftly. I still think that slicks are much easier on a car than any Drag radial, I would love to see a balt out at gimli with some big slicks on it

 

I could not agree more. And no wheel hop is less stress on the axles, IMO Dane. Just from what Hahn has said regarding axles. IN THE GROOVE FTMFW!

 

I agree. Hop is worse on everything.


You find some slicks and I will borrow you my car.

 

All I have are 15 inch slicks, pr 17 inch DR's for the occasional street fun

 

I think we need 16s to clear the brakes? I have 16" steelies for winter should put slicks on em.....

 

Yeah, we do need 16's at least. I was thinkin about pickin up another 2 steelies, since they're like 60 bucks a pop?


P.S. I'm eating Mongo's at my computer. Yum.

 

lucky bastard...i love mongos

 

So who was in the yellow ss/sc driving south on #7 at about 5:00pm today?

 

with the right 15's and a small amount of caliper grinding 15's have been done. no ****. saw it on here some where.

 

kenny me and my gf saw u on number 7..... in a 4 door black cobalt... i think u looked at us... but maybe not

 

being able to launch is harder on stuff. but is will not snap an axle as quick as wheel hop. I would be more worried about the clutch than axles with slicks IMO.

 

Are you sure you're not thinkin of Pablo?

 

shhooot i dunnno.... why would pablo be on number 7.... i know that kenny lives in stonewall so i saw a blue SC driving and i assumed it was him

 

ya probably was me, but i seen a yellow ss/sc heading back to winnipeg on #7 right by dump road.

 

just ran my friends 05 gtp, we went from a 30 mph roll, when i shut down at 90 mph i had him by a car, was REALLY impressed, i honestly thought i was going to get womped.

btw, first time inawhile i can chirp em going into third...

 

i ran an aveo, it was close, but i won

 

Wasn't me. I would have followed you until you gave me a ride in your car.

 

Nice kill dude, GP GTP or G6?

 

GTP GP

 

I killed it...... (*click*...........*Page not found*)........sigh.......Ah well, that'll teach me to put stickers on my car, then move cities!

 

It Was Fun Last Night Guys, Thanks...and Sorry About All The Detours

I Have A Color Matched Triple Gauge Pod And Gauges For Sale.....make Me A Reasonable Offer And Its Yours Lol

 

I think I was drunker than JP when I typed that.LOL

edit -

being able to launch harder with slicks will be harder on the driveline. but should not snap an axle as quick as wheel hop. I would be more worried about the clutch rather than axles with slicks IMO.

 

*sigh*

Yay for english!
