lifting a wheel on the street??

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

Looked like this I bet.



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

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.

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.....

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....

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.
