I started to notice this shortly after the annual "Dream Cruise" on Woodward back in August:
I don't do burnouts for the hell of it like I used to, but it is in the dead of winter and sometimes the wheels have to spin due to wet/slick pavement. Most of the time when this happens, it sounds/feels as if I was driving over a bunch of little speed bumps at 30 mph, although it only affects the back tires. I have a bad feeling that it is a suspension problem but I do not know for sure. What do you guys think???

Sometimes if im pissed off and gun it from a red light, even with it floored, it will still hop.

You mean mustangs aren't supposed to have wheelhop?

Honestly, I would't worry about it, but then I haven't felt it in your car myself. It's pretty normal for mustang rear ends to hop when the wheels get spinning though.

That's a good point. It's just that it is SO noticeable and i don't remember experiancing the "hopping" before the dreamcruise.
