Unlike GM our cars don’t have that issue.
BFI stage 2 mounts and I can either hook and go or do an 1/8 mile burnout depending on track prep and my throttle input. No wheel hop here
GM and Honda’s also like to torque steer too. I’ve owned 300+ hp mk6 and 7 and neither wheel hopped or torque steered.
Both did have terrible stock mounts tho, I upgraded well before my first oil change on both cars and never looked back
Well Honda's torque steer because of unequal length half shafts are used a lot and the Cobalt torque steered because it made more power, had a torsen diff, had longer gears, etc, that just exacerbate torque steer issues.
These cars torque steer, the e-diff in the PP does things to help mitigate the amount that happens. As for wheel hop, stiffening up the mounts does help because it keeps axle bind to a minimum, this also adds NVH. The mounts I'm talking about add little to no NVH and you get no hop AND you get response. It's like having your cake and eating it too, and then there's more cake after that lol.
It's the same argument about polyurethane bushings. Yes they make things stiffer but they wear out and need to be replaced after time because they dry up and aren't self lubricating. That's why you see a lot of delrin used in race applications. That stuff doesn't play nice with calcium chloride though so it's not really good for street use if there's ever any snow. Even further you'll almost never see a rubber or poly bushing used in racing if there is a spherical bushing that exists can be put in it's place because they're a one and done thing. Sealed and grease packed, as long as they allow enough movement to let things articulate, they're definitely the way to go.
Going off on a tangent mainly because the aftermarket for these cars is HUGE, but we are overcharged for some of the things that are supposed to be "premium" when in fact they're not. Carbon fiber this and $1000 control arms that come with poly bushings. That's insane.
/end rant
Looks like I'll get to drive home in a bit of snow today. At roughly 200 miles. I need to break this thing in already.
