Well, not a high as other cars on the board, but at the time of this pic last year, she weighed around 3600 with driver and still had the A/C installed.

Sweet! Heres a stupid question. If you hook with NO spin, how much horse does it take to lift the wheels on a 3500 lbs car? 350? 400? 450+? I''m sure a stall helps too right? Never dragged before, only watched.

hp is relative when you consider converter/gear size and/or clutch type/launch rpm. my 305 put down 243rwhp and would lift the front left tire 3" off the ground.

its not just about power and traction... its weight transfer.. there are 9 sec cars that dont lift a tire.. and matt's camaro that lifts it running 12's..
think a bicycle.. if you pedal while leaning over the handlebars, you will never lift the front.. but if you lean forward then suddenly all the way back while pedaling its very likely you will do a wheelie.. weight transfer..
