Default lifted both front tires friday

On Friday we went to the track and I ran a 12.53. On one pass I had a 1.73 60ft. and a bunch of people in the crowd said both front tires lifted 4-6 in.
So I had 3 new pb's that night.
12.53@110
1.73 60ft.
lifted the tires

Hell thats nothing!
I am stock and I scrape my bumper when I race, replaced it numerous times already..I must have a factory freak


Im being a jackass but seriously I would think it would take well over 500rwhp and supporting mods to pull off that kind of wheelie

Yeah they came off the ground. Numerous people came up and told me. Unless it was a group delusion Hopefully I can do it again and get pics for the doubters. Hell I didn't believe it at first.

Hey quickz.. How do you like those 4.30's? You have a 6 speed right? I am looking into buying a 9'' here in about a month and I was thinking maybe 4.30's.. Most people with the m6's run 4.11's. Is it that big of a difference between 4.11's and 30's? Where does your car rev at about 70ish in top gear? Your one of the few people that i have seen run those gears. I am not really interested in mpg.. if i was i would have bought a honda.

I enjoy the 9 inch at the track. It does make the rear end a bit heavy for street driving but not unbearable. I got the 4.30's to go with my new 27 inch tires at the track. At 70mph on the freeway it is about 2000rpm with the stock tires. Hardly noticeable. If you haven't checked the gear calculator out here is the link for you.
