Crap...
Hello,
I was driving on the freeway today, and i got pissed during traffic...Revved my motor kinda high, and released the clutch, and i had some serious wheel hoppage. Ever since when i get on the freeway, its a lot bumpier, and my car acceleration is a lot slower. Will this problem be fixed if i got an alignment? Any feedback is appreciated.

Re: Crap... (kKdARIAN)
well, it can have a lot to do with alignment in my opinion. If my alignment is messed up, then it will affect the acceleration of my car. The reason being, if my wheels aren't going straight or are not even, it would contribute to a slower acceleration

Re: (Dlpz87)
hey guys, i have a similar problem. When i rev my engine high from sitting idle, and then pop the clutch, my wheels spinn on the ground, and my car dosnt move!!! it ruins the **** out of my tires, so what should i do to stop that from happening!!!!
dude, you didnt **** up your alignment, poping the clutch wont do that to your alignment unless you were going like 50, then poped it into 2nd gear. if ur accel is bad, its ur engine, not your alignment, the wheels not goin straight wont make acceleration slower

Uh.. dont do that? When you pop the clutch like that thats whats going to happen, your tires are going to spin and screw up your tread. Try not popping it so hard, but once you are moving, smash the gas.
Maybe you could weigh the car down more and hope it gives your tires more traction, but that dosnt help when you dont have any to begin with

Well, i would like it if you didn't refer to anyone as a dumbass, especially if you dont understand the situation i was in. I was at a stop in traffic and this guy almost hit me coming into my lane, so i got pissed off...maybe a lil over reaction on my part but cmon, i never stated that i was revving in neutral while i was moving... actually, i never stated i was moving at all. I was at a stop ok? Ok, cool. Anyways, i got my wheels balanced and got an alignment too, and it seems better so thanks for all those who helped me out in a positive way.
