Now my dad's street driven camaro used to drag the back bumper on the track, but on the street traction was a joke.

RE: Wheelie
The car at the start of this video and the 3rd race is my supervisor and the class he races he has to run on Bfgoodrich tires that are DOT. He does not drive it on the streets, but I think getting the grip to stand the wheels would be the main problem on the streets.

RE: Wheelie
This thread is pointless and unrealistic. Yea anything is possible with the rite amount of money. If your soul purpose is to ride a wheelie and you have the money that transfer the engine to the back of your car I suppose...

Hey Guys, anybody know of how to make a notch stand up or if it can truly be done? I havent seen a street car carry the front tires? I seen twisting and such...but a good foot or two off the ground? I was thinking incorrect pinion angle and four link set up should do it.....but? Any thoughts.....I have Eibach drag launch springs and lakewood struts on one of my cars and it feels like car is lifting...got lots of weight transfer but thats not what I'm talkin bout....lol..... oh yeah 5 speed car.....thanks

RE: Wheelie
We have a local crew on the mustang forum that prides themselves on 'street wheelies'.
The best of which seems to be the Malibu everytime. I'm hoping my fox will be in the mix this coming spring.
http://home.comcast.net/~5-door/Movie.wmvThis was shot on a well prepped street behind the shop. At the time, he used people in the back. But lately, he's been getting more air without. These pics where taken at a wheelie competition.
