it can be done

this is a fact. i have also herd that if u take a ls1 and put it in a 3rd gen it will do a wheelie. it would make seance the ls1 only weight's as much as a 2.8v6.

but 3rd gens doing wheelies this has been done and will continue to be done.

Your dead wrong, guy here who has a 90 RS dropped a 02 LS1 here in at the track, put slicks on it and a 3200 stall and he is running 11.80 and he ain't pulling jack. At least try to come up with something that has some sort of information to back it up. After asking this in the suspension forum myself, it seems you need to set your suspension up to do just that.

Sticky tires, proper suspension and chassis setup. Pulling the tires means extreme traction. You don't see cars doing wheel stands and spinning the tires like on the Fast and Furious. Don't expect to do it on the street unless you have a pal with a can of VHT to prep the street for you though.

track has the dot fluild and vht fluid so traction is normally good. some nice 90 10 shocks is a most def if u could 4.88s or higher will get u that wheelie some slicks ets or somewhere along the lines or those. id put the bat in back for traction. also maybe a third or the tank.
pullin a wheelie isnt all about hp its all about trq and being able to put it to the ground. if u do ff style you have to roll it and then once uve popped it floor it and thats how u get it to smoke and wheels up. but easiest thing u can do is the shocks and gears. also if ur doin a high wheelie get good springs and a hamburger type oil pan and some shortie headers. otherwise say bye bye to ur engine.

i have to say that would be funny but i hate hydros but this would be a funny *** way to use them.



heres a little fact hydros where first made for high performance 4x4s so they could hop the tires over rocks and such.

then someone said hey i can make my car hop and and down and everyone else was like hey cool and thats y we see civics ,10s etc. it use to be more of a muscle low rider thing now its a ***** low rider thing.

At the end of the movie during the race between the muscle car and the import. The muscle car did a full wheel stand and spun the tires at the same time. I didn't pay attention to the makes or models of the car so I'm sure muscle car and import will suffice.
