If they have any indication that you took it to the track, no.

its been said a million times but ill say it again.
when you feel wheel hop. take your foot OUT of the throttle or something will break.

dealerships know about wheelhop.
you may get warranty for this.
but just keep in mind they will know that you thrash your car when they see broken mounts.

i know they know about wheel hop, but i have had many problems with my balt in six months so i'm hoping they'll think its just another problem. and my times where not great due to the fact i had to try three times to get it in third my best time was a 15.3

Just try your best to convince them, also make sure you wash the car real good before you bring it in just in case there is rubber on it or in the wheel well.
