How about drifting?

We run a ride experience program, and are in the process of converting from 1999 cars to '05's (V6 coupes). Needless to say, we are madly repairing the older cars' rear suspension mounts on a regular basis, I but have heard that the new car's rear suspension is far more robust. Still, we plan on something like 12,000 rides per year froma fleet of ten cars, so we'd rather have all the necessary reinforcements in place BEFORE we start breaking parts. Between BMR , Steeda and others, there's already a lot of pieces on the market, but what do we really NEED?

-Great forum, by the way.

I'm with aremann2. I went to the track this past weekend and had wheel hop at launch and at the 1-2 shift every time I went down the track. I let my best friend run my car a few times, he had the same results.
