wheel hop on a NEON is pretty common.... your best bet would be upgraded motor mounts and a decent suspension.

Might I add a better car? lol Poly motor mounts or atleast inserts and suspension parts will help eliminate the slop (wheel hop). Check out energy suspension engine mount inserts. They are cheap and they work. I myself prefer nice billet/poly race mounts

Great....Can you do me a favor now, and race your SRT into a pole already? I'll take the wing and sell it so I can get my wideband for my car.

I would recommend powering a different pair of wheels.
