lifting a wheel on the street??

[98tadriver]

this one kid told me that his car did it- is it possible to do that with a CAI, catback LT1 M6, 10bolt with 4.10s, and all spohn stuff and ZR1's w/ drag radials? im having a hard time believing that. i dont even think he has springs or shocks but def has pretty much every spohn suspension componet that i can think of
runs 12.9s at the track, he cant remember his 60'

im just curious

[Bandit]

no....

[98tadriver]

i figured he was just squatting down hard and THOUGHT he mightve pulled a wheel lol

I would need to re-work the suspension, take weight off and add light wheels and "maybe" see a little day light.

[98tadriver]

dayum. i cant wait to get a pic of my car doing that!

Certainly not with a 12.9 and the mods you listed.

bs...

Somebody is smokin' some bad crack...:nod:

[76bumblbrally]

:bs: it will def feel like it, but with the mods listed it def isnt happening on the street

[79dizZy28]

he could probably lift a tire goin around a corner, as most any car can, but he's not gonna get it done in a straight line.

10 bolt would break while the car is still in neutral... not possible

this is true:lol:

[Tru2Chevy]

Maybe he hopped a curb or something.....not happening in a straight line on flat road with those mods.

too much weight in the nose and not enough suspension mods. if all you wanted to do was lift a tire, you could do it with only about 350 hp, but the car would be damn near undriveable due to the suspension setup. you'd have to have a front suspension that unloaded really quick and enough weight off the nose and more weight in the rear. its possible to do, but not with a mostly stock LT1 running 12.9's.

A floor jack works good to pick up front wheels....

Not to bump the old thread, but James can lift one front tire and he's only got 186 hp @ the rear wheels..... :mrgreen:

[Ian]

ah, very true. I just use the 350 figure to play it safe incase the car weighs more than james' 2 thousand pound bird :lol:

before the nitrous? ;)

Yup, I've watched him pony the left front (and Melissa has a pic or two) while cutting mid 1.7 60' times N/A. Last day Island was open in 2005....

AKA the last time the bird saw the track.....

[linemanap7423]

jus so yall know that was me, and that was based on OTHER PPLS sights, not mine, as i cant watch myself do it, a local street racer saw me do it and told me that i did it, quite frankly i cant believe it myself but thats wat was told to me

Well, I wasn't there, so I'm not gonna flat out say that you or the guy who told you is lying, however the chances of you lifting a tire on a smooth street with your setup is pretty much non existent.

[linemanap7423]

yea, i myself would like to know what im doing, when the track opens up ill get it on video on what the hell im doing..lol but thanks for your input even to those who are jerks about it!!

[NJSPEEDER]

always take compliments from street racers lightly, they are usualy just trying to talk you up to get a race out of you later.

mine did it on the track

[FAST Z]

I have seen a high 11 car like a nhra stocker car yank a wheel at the track... But a 12.9 car pullin a wheel on the street with those baby mods you mentioned.... highly doubt ful....

My car at 3400lbs on spray runnin sub 10.second passes set up as good as it's gonna get with a leaf and caltracs 1.31 short times only lifted the wheel an inch at the track.... not to say a car that isn't set up to hook and book wouldn't lift the wheel... but wheelies are for show and do not win races...... so My money would be on that person pullin your leg a little..... Here is what a hookin car on a 28x10.5 looks like....... and I mean hookin!!!

First photo.. pullin tire on spray with a slick
Second photo pulllin tire on a drag radial on motor.....

383 small block.... not shy on pwr by no means..... and car was a streetcar that was purely dragged.... street driving was annoying with 4.10 gears and 3" exhaust

[Ian]

you had a mostly stock LT1 that ran 12.9 and lifted the tires off the ground?

[Mike]

mostly stock ls1
same difference

[Ian]

mostly stock ls1
same difference

:lol:

riiiiight...

[Mike]

riggght what?

same difference or mostly stock?

[Ian]

I just dont see a "mostly stock" LT1 being equal in almost any way to a "mostly stock" LS1, thats all.

i think with the right tire and gears in a stick..it could be done..everyones entitled to an opinion..

on the street? i think you would be hard pressed to find a street with enough grip. unless your talking about somewhere with the hardcore streeracers putting down vht.

[84HOtransam]

i do now know if it happened or not just that it is possible..there are far too many varibles..

the entire setup of his car is unknown...
with a mostly stock lt1-decent power-the suspension, and tire and gear mentioned it could be possible..

the temp of the street was unknown..hot summer days the track is stickier than cool spring days..

not saying its definatly..just that its a possiblity..
