As any Maxima drivers know (particularly 5spd), there is a real problem with wheel hop upon quick takeoffs. In case someone doesn't know what I mean by wheel hop, it's when the front wheels slip, and the tires gain/lose traction frequently. The front end of the car jumps up and down quickly.

So does anyone know if wheel hop negatively affects anything?
