Default My Camaro Did A Wheelie!

Ok... Maybe not the kind of wheelie that your thinking. More like a wheel hop but hey my lil DD bolt on LS1 lifted the front tire off the ground! :thirdgear

Might be going back to Wednesday night drags next week to shoot for those low 12s-high 11s! haha

Ah I love your car man. What rpm's were you launching at?

Pretty badass you were pulling the front tire off the ground with just bolt ons!

BTW, Whats does your license plate frame read? I can almost make it out but not there.

Thanks man appreciate it! But first one bogged it pretty good with a 4k launch. Then revved it up to 5-5 half then the last one almost 6k. I still got a stock tranny so I'm a little scared with all those high rpm launches. Clutch & everything else should be golden. Just my tranny is worrying me haha

But the license plate frame says "Mustang hunting know where they're hiding"

Suspension def needs some work. The car shouldn't be bouncing like that during a burnout and it def seems like its struggling to stay planted to the ground. Whats your suspension consist of?

OP are you running a 28" tire with 3.90 gears?

Throw some 4.30s or 4.56s in that thang!

Slick ride by the way!

Pretty much everything but springs, shocks & subframe connectors...

Yea either going to be 4.30s or 4.11s next! 4.56 would be to much for my H/C spray set up I'm going with
