pull enough weight off and gear it right with slicks and she'll pull the wheels. maybe not a full 1/4 mile wheel stand, but just pullin the wheels doesnt take a whole lot.


if a full interior 4th gen with a 200lbs driver can do it with a bolt-on LT1 pushing... maaaaaaaaaaybe 350 to the wheels, some slicks and spray and remove some weight and this car will pull the tires as well

You will need a solid axel with leaf springs, 4 link, or a ladder bar type suspension. Once the tires hook on an IRS rear suspension the car will just go since there isn't really going to be any type of lift created, because there isn't a specific point where the power will be transfered through the body. For example the front of the leaf springs, 4 link, or ladder bars.

depends what ure definition of a whole lot is, a solid rear 4 link and ladder bar may seem like more to some than others

BUT i gotta agree with CamaroSpike you won' nteed supercharger AND turbo on top of spray just to lift the wheels

why do you need leaf springs? ive seen plenty of coil spring cars pulling the wheels in my time. including my own.


94Z, solid real axle, stock lower control arms (which I guess you could call ladder bars in this instance), adjustable phb, and slicks.


as for no point of lift being created with an IRS, if the tires hook, there will be a point of lift created where the center unit mounts to the rear suspension bracket which then mounts to the car. given sufficient traction, power, weight reductino, and praying that everything holds, she'll pull the wheels

It's less pain to just watch videos of it.

Unless you have money to burn for what is basically a useless but entertaining stunt.

Your safety is not worth an unbalanced vehicle. Unless you like death thrills.

basically useless, but some wheel lift is actually desireable in some drag setups.

and whats wrong with death thrills?
