Default Popping a wheelie

I just wanna know what it would take , im pretty sure its soft rear suspension and stiff front so the back catches all the weight from launch ... And before you guys start , i know its dumb, immature , dangerous , bad for your car , ect. Ect. Also i know Wide back sticky tires , and high torque , you think a supercharger setup could do it with the right suspension , and im not talking monster wheelies im talking like 1 1/2 to 2 feet off the ground ... Probably never gonna do it just entertaining the idea

has nothing to do with a suspension or what tires you have, what blower or how high you wanted to get off the ground(initially)…it's all about statics

but here's your answer…good luck...

lets just say your car is uniformly distributed load of 3400lbs (wet with a driver) from the rear wheels forward…and lets say from the center of the rear wheels to the tip of the front bumper is 12 feet…

lets assume the car is completely horizontal and the load is applied to the center of mass…

3400lbs x 6 ft = 20,400 ft*lbs of torque required to bring the front wheels off the ground…

I'm sure somewhere someone can make you a blower that will create 20,400 ft*lbs of torque…but your next challenge is finding tires that will lock up to hold those 20,400 ft*lbs...

So how do i calculate engine torque into what the wheel makes at whatever the gear is cause i know ive seen cars that are heavy and cant possibly have dyno torque numbers that high , like a ls1 and a 240z that both got pretty good amounts of lift at the front wheels

Truth. His last post makes no sense.

Do you ever wonder how some of these people get by with such poor English and such stupid ideas?

That's the most technical thing you've said in this thread.
