How common is this? My Celica is the only car I've encountered with this problem. It's a 2.2 5 speed /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
 
Every front wheel drive car I've ever driven does it to some extent. I must say that my CRX is the king of horrible front drive manners (hop, and torque steer).
 
watch the import shows sometime when they launch at the strip and you just hear the tires hopping, chirp chirp chirp chirp.

One more reason why imports, FWD, and racing don't go together. /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

[/ QUOTE ] The big problem is I bet if you play the sound of a real muscle car launching and solidly spinning off the line, then you played the import wheel hopping off the line a ricer would still say the import sounded better. They probably feel its cool to wheelhop. Don't attack me I know not all ricers are total morons but the majority are.
 
I'm not attacking anyone at all. All I mean is that is one more reason ricers suck for race cars. And I would much rather hear a 540ci blown big block at about 7,000RPM's melting the tires off the rims than a cute little 100ci 4 banger going chirp chirp chirp like a fawkin' parakeit. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif The best sound though is hearing just a little bark and then a screaming big block getting quiter and quiter. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
