yeah its not all about the power your making to get the front off the ground. Its a matter of what kind of grip you have. you can get one off the ground by throwin on some slicks and disconnecting the front sway bar ive heard

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.........

yeah dude its all about hooking. i think I'm gonna be able to do it on a hundred shot if i hook. (its not stock other than that ofcourse) At least the left front tire.

You can do it with a stock car. There is someone that floats around cardomain that did it with his completely stock stang. He just gutted the entire car and put springier springs up front.

around 300rwhp and the right suspension you can do it. but pulling the wheels is not what you want to do. you want to launch out of the hole, just bearly pulling the wheels and leaping foward.

Exactly, lifting the front wheels off the ground is a HUGE waste of power, just think of all that wasted power going vertical, you want all the power possible to make you go horizontal.

If you really wanted to, could do it quite easily by lightening up the front end... with a good set of tires of course.. tubular k-member, dump the sway bar... blah blah blah
