wheelie question


Whats the slowest 60' anyones seen that got one or both wheels up, me and my buddy were arguing about that.9 (with out anything breaking or whatever would make a faster car run a bad 60' with a good launch).

I know it's pointless, he says no car over over high 10s could pull the wheels. I just want some input to show him he is wrong.

A car in the 11's for sure can pull'em as long as they have the grip..

Tell him he is a dumb ass. I had a low 12 second beater years ago that pulled both tires about 6 inches off the ground.

+1 There is a video online of a guy running mid 12's pulling the wheels like two feet off the ground. Full slicks, light car, decent power and a nasty suspension to launch off of will get you there!

I would love to pop one in that charger in the f&f. that was the only real car in that movie. I wonder how soft the suspension was on that beast
