Default Wheelies on stock engine?

I was wondering if itis at all possible for a 96GT auto to pull the front wheels. I know it wont even come close stock but what If I had a complete strange rearend, 4:30s, DRs, and some rear suspinsion setups. This is probly a stupid question but I seriously don't know if its possible with just the stock motor? If not what else will I need power wise to lift the front end?

takes a lot of power and traction to get them wheels off the ground. slowest cars ive ever seen get off the ground ran about 12.4's in the 1/4 and im talkin maybe 2-3"off the ground.

if you relocate the engine to the trunk you probably could.

thats what I thought. This kid at school was always telling me his eagle talon was AWD and had twin turbos. He also told me that his brothers 98 mustang had a 5.4 in it and it could pull the front wheels. Well the other day I wanted to race him in his talon. He said no then I saw his brother in the black mustang and asked for a race with him he said no Well came to find out that his tuner talon is really just a ricer. I looked under the hood (reached in the car and poped the hood with him still in the drivers seat and went an opened the hood yay all stock! Then that night I saw his older brother again and asked what was under the hood hes was kinda smart and said its a gt what you think? I was like well I heard you had a 5.4 so found out he was lieing thier to so I just was wondering if it was possible.

If it did have a 5.4 it would have even less of a chance of poping wheelies. Dude id punch that ricer kid in the face! lol

Yeah my friend had an Eagle AWD. Theyre single turbo though. If hes stock youll embarress him but those things get fast, easy, quick. But from the sounds of it hes probably stock. Give it the old college try though.

You may be able to pull them if you have a houseboat on the trailer hitch.
