It won't burn out "correctly"
On the 6-speed, I cannot get the car to burn out with out shaking violently. I've had this "problem" in all Volkswagens I've owned, I think it has something to do with the motor mounts? Anyone else care to comment? (not that I burn out all the time or anything :thefinger )

I had an 01 civic and never had this problem. I always remember my Golf, New Beetle, and Jetta VR6 doing this tho. Neuspeed sells a bushing for it.

i wonder if it has anything to do with the type of tires you have too. just before i sold my '93 rx7, i put on some cheap falken tires on it and all i got was wheel hop. but when i used dunlop sp8000/9000's on it before, i was able to burn/peel out nicely even when they were worn out.

i would love to ride in a TL that doesnt have wheel hop during hard launch.. and see what you have done differently to achieve this. I have never driven any FWD car without wheel hop during a hard launch. (Streetable car.. did drive one with drag slicks that didnt hop).
RWD isnt nearly as much of an issue.. mid or rear engine RWD even better.. you have more weight transfer to the rear tires during launch, so you have much more downforce to keep the rubber on the pavement.

Better traction and handling, but harder to spin those 18s isn't it?

The problem is not the tires, the 6MT has a limited slip differential which causes traction to be transferred back and forth between both tires. when traction kicks in and out of one tire, you get wheel hop.
