I wasn't trying to show any error in your post or critique you, my intent was to let the original poster know there are two separate conditions pertaining to traction at the rear wheels.

Wheel hop just doesnt happen on the 6 speed Challengers, it can happen on the autos too. Not as easy to get it to happen with an auto but it can and will happen.

wheel hop happens when non driving stick guys try to keep up with auto guys.
