Spin 'em, no problem. Its when the tires stick you have problems. Of course, wheel hop can be destructive... Test it out end tell us?

Doesn't matter. Right from the rev limiter. I wouldn't bother going there. No need. The transmission is super vulnerable to wheel hop and the rubbery diff mounts don't help.

I bought the car to satisfy my childish desire to hoon and knew the risks up front. Still disappointing to learn the hard way how fragile it is. Meh, expensive toys.

I mayhaps done it around 6.5+krpm a few times... depends on grip level of the tires but I haven't had a problem ... Yet. Stockers were a hoot because you could burn out for days.

I found that if you let the clutch out quickly but smoothly, rather than a sudden drop, you get the desired effect. Too quick and you get wheel hop. Too slow and you just look really stupid.

It was pretty funny in the restaurant when it got quiet and Ultra was like "Andrew is just fucking with us!" really loud.

The inserts add noise, but definitely improve launches...
