soft suspension in the front, good weight transfer and a good hook

Power + weight transfer + traction = pulling the wheels

What purpose does this serve? Other than looking "cool", in the qtr. it's gonna slow you down, the goal is to go forward, not up... jmo

I agree about the slowing down part, but i think we all would love to show off a car the pulls wheels. RSW007 i think is his name. He has 225 rwhp and pulls em up a little.

on the nitrous, yes, he does.

your going to need good suspension, low gearing, sticky tires, and a good amount of torque. you will need to shock the chasis really hard to get the front to lift which means a high stall converter with a built tranny or a good clutch and with work when you dump the clutch from a high rpm. cutting weight throughout the car, especially the front, will help too
