February 5, 200818 yr front wheels off the ground..... he was totally serious.... he also wrapped it around a tree and blamed it on unexpected sudden acceleration.... Ok...wierd... I think I managed to get all 4 wheels of my Mustang off the ground once on a road called 'Rollercoaster Road' by cresting hills rapidly...but since I was driving I wasn't sure if I was getting air or not..(though the front air dam definitely contacted the pavement more than once)...
February 5, 200818 yr hehe... he was full of hot air.... do you really think a circa '89 Firebird V6 would be able to pull it's front wheels off the ground?

You have a Rollercoaster Road over there, too? And you've gotten air, as well? Fun, isn't it?
February 6, 200818 yr Author I've been in the passanger seat of a street legal '69 Camaro when it lifed both wheels off the ground. Some of you may remember it, the green 454-powered hardtop I helped my crazy buddy Sean sell on eBay, we delivered it to the buyer in North Carolina in 2005. Sean used to pop a wheelie in it from time to time, not exactly good for the front suspension though when it landed. But this was with custom built traction bars, a 500 horsepower big block/M22 four speed & Weld racing wheels (classic drag stance)

However, a circa '89 Firebird V6 ain't gonna do it.
February 6, 200818 yr You have a Rollercoaster Road over there, too? And you've gotten air, as well? Fun, isn't it? Yes....lots of fun... IIRC, I've driven on 3 different roads named Rollercoaster Road--one near Colorado Springs (Black Forest), one outside Ann Arbor, MI and one in eastern Ohio...I love that type of road...rolling hills and curves..

However, a circa '89 Firebird V6 ain't gonna do it. Sure it will, if a Wrecker brings it to the impound, it will LIFT the front wheels off the ground. I've met too many ignorant people like this in my life. '85 Dodge Dakota drivers who insist their truck has a HEMI, FWD 1988 Cadillac deVille owners who insist their car is MORE luxurious and has a better ride than a Fleetwood Brougham of the same year, Honda Civic owners who will swear their 1998 LEFT hand drive Si was imported from Japan & is JDM, it has a 1.8 liter motor and will do the 1/4 mile in 12.9 STOCK!
