You can set up your suspension to do if with as little as 250 horsepower..............On slicks and leaving on Nitrous I could one off the ground...........:eek:

j/k my suspension is set up not to do that.........
There is no way you can pull both wheels with only 250hp. I go to my local track all of the time and everyone that can do that is pumping out at least 450 hp and has several hundred dollars in suspension mods. I don't care how good the suspension is, it's torque and hp that pulls them

Actually you can do it with 250 hp....if you have the suspension set up to do it.......

It's all about weight transfer, get fiberglass fenders,bumper,doors and little suspension mods and you will see how easy it is to lift the front with a stock engine..

no it's tq buddy...a 50 hp car with 500lbs of tq could do it
And most cars that have 500 lbs of tq normally have what?.... around 450 hp

For the record there's no way you could have 50 hp and 500 lbs of tq.


I have seen with my two eyes a 99 cobra with headers and h-pipe and flows, with suspension work and slicks pull em. And I dont think thats near 450hp.

nobody is going to dispute that..but need to realize TORQUE gets you off the line..HORSEPOWER carries you to the end of it.
