Wheelie

AggieStang · October 19th, 2007, 06:45 PM

How much horsepower would you need to raise the front end off the line?

psycho bob · October 19th, 2007, 07:41 PM

it's not all about HP. if you can't put the power to the ground then you can have all the power you want. you'll also need suspention and some nice sticky tires. as far as HP goes you'll need a good bit. it would also depend on the particular vehicle.

darrell's car could lift the wheels pretty damn good, and he had 7xx horsepower

AggieStang · October 19th, 2007, 08:40 PM

Im pretty sure my mustang won't ever have enough power but i just wanted to know.

mustangmanic · October 19th, 2007, 11:03 PM

You could do it with 500 hp on a fox body with a complete suspension and a massive weight reduction, a stronger rear end, and some DR's.

My girlfriends dad has an 86gt with all the above putting out about 535 and does MASSIVE wheelies

My 91 GT did with 340 rear wheel horsepower. Horsepower + traction.

Once you start making alot of horsepower you spend countless hours trying to NOT wheelie.

Power to wieght ratio

needs to be a pretty light car as well

dapack69 · October 21st, 2007, 09:22 AM

I have seen 300 rwhp GT's do wheelies. Its all in the suspenions and plotting the correct pinion angle along with center of gravity.

Regency 2007 · October 21st, 2007, 02:01 PM

It's all in the rear suspension and traction. Also need some somewhat steep gears and lighten the front end some. (Light weight skinnys, light weight hood, ect.

2k05gt · October 22nd, 2007, 09:32 AM

There are several S197 GT's and V6's with Turbos getting air under the front tires pushing about 350 RWHP.

You need to reduce a lot of weight, sway bar delete, light BMR radiator support, battery relocate, remove all interior and use race seats, Sticky Tires with Weld Drag Lights front skinnies, UCA. LCA, Gears Race Clutch (Manual)
3500 Stall (Auto)

BWAL · October 22nd, 2007, 04:18 PM

i did a wheelie in my stock 5.0

i was in the walmart parking lot and apparently one of the speed breakers weren't painted, therefore resulting in a wheelie.
