Some people say the S550 has wheel hop while others do not.
Wheel hop is serious not only for traction issues but also for potentially harmful damage. We have seen broken half shafts in 2003-2004 Cobras due to this behavior. We also know of ways to eliminate or minimize it. See my post from the SVT section of StangNet for more details if you wish.
What I think we should do is hold a poll and look for trends.
First, please vote.

I will track the data in a spreadsheet and analyze for trends and see if this issue is common or isolated to specific conditions.
