Wheel Hop
Not that I have beating on my fairly new C63S but when I step on it hard and get wheel spin the hole back of the car starts to jump with serious wheel hop. I have had a number of Corvettes and a CTS-V in the past and when you stepped on it hard the wheels would just buzz with no back end wheel hop. Just wondering if anyone could answer why the C63s vibrates with crazy wheel hop?

Put your car in race mode and take of the amg sport suspension... suspension in Comfort mode. No more wheel hop.
The sport+/race suspension, should only be on when you're driving the vehicle hard, cornering, etc. If you just want to Hoooon down your city block. Race mode, comfort suspension.

I drive nearly exclusively in comfort (suspension ) but sport+ and race for the rest... and my car still hops like a rabbit.
Over 70kph and it's more a spin the wheels affair, but low down, that hop is annoying as hell.

I also also tried every combo of settings but still got the axle hop.
see my thread below about the KW coilovers, that and some new Contisport 6 tyres ( 275 wide) have fixed the problem by 90-95% but its not a cheap solution.. The car now drives how if should from the factory.
Also running about 32psi helps a bit too
