Meh, I've seen much worse. My Eclipse was a fwd when I purchased it, car made ~450 whp at the track (410whp daily tune). Drag racing, w/ 18" rims & 225/40/18 rubber & that thing would wheel hop in 2nd & 3rd so bad, your cameraman would drop his camera :biggrin2:

Wheel hop is very hard on drivetrain parts, so I'd try your best to tray & avoid it. Only reason I didn't exploded my front diff in the Eclipse is because I upgraded it to a Quiafe LSD. The only real cure for me was to awd swap the car :wink2:

Some things that can typically help wheel hop, stiffer engine mounts, higher profile/softer sidewall tires & tweeks to the suspension. Or look into a better tire with more grip, as it will be less likely to break free in the first place.
