Stock production wheelies aren’t impossible anymore. The Demon and most recently, the SVJ (a LAMBORGHINI) have popped the front wheels in the air. So the question is: How hard is a wheelie? Well, first thing first is your setup. Obviously, if you have more weight in the back the easier it is to pop a wheelie. This is why 11 second porsches can lift the front wheels, yet 9 second Audi’s or BMW’s dont even lift. Porsche runs a setup with the engine in the back, allowing for godly traction with a RWD setup along with possible wheelies without even using slicks.

So car manufacturers like to play the illusions of rivalry, most of them are just made by the same companies and they give an effect that they are rivals to get more attention. A good example would be Lexus and Toyota, There are thousands of videos of why Lexus is better and why Toyota is better, but in the end they both win. The next time you see a Lexus and Toyota together, try and look for similarities between them. This is alot easier to spot in other frenemies, such as GMC and Cadillac . Body: Same Headlights: Same Interior: Same

How Long until we see a Pro Mod 4 second Quarter Mile? Not too long ago we were thinking the same thing about a 5 second car, and its now a reality! There is no doubt that it is impossible because some competitors have gotten closer in the past months. Here are the cars that cut closest to the time. Stanly Racing Cafillac - 5.54 @ 276 MPH Q80 Camaro - 5.43 @ 279MPH And The fastest- Ekanoo’s Lexus with a 5.37 @ 278MPH Who will be the first to the 4’s? And how long will it take?

Ive always wondered why cars have never achieved 300 miles per hour. It would be a major feat to the company that made it and would bring them major popularity. I though all you had to do was add “a little bit” of horsepower, but that isnt quite right.

Something I’ve always wondered: why can’t an automaker take what they’ve shown as a concept and turn it into production? I guess it just doesn’t make sense to me why they would spend all their time and resources designing and developing a concept car when all it’s going to look like when they release it is what the previous model looked like with different headlights. For example, the Bronco above excited us four-wheelers and we waited. Nothing happened. That made me wonder why the concept cars almost always are never made.

Your at the stop light, about to race the Evo. It turns green, you dont accelerate fast enough to burn rubber and there is no one to endanger. The race finishes without breaking the speed limit. The question is, at what point of acceleration can you get a ticket? What i am knowledgeable of, is that if you leave marks on the road or weave through traffic like a maniac, you get a ticket. But at what point does it become illegal? You can get arrested for reckless endangerment but Ive seen cars go off the red light light pretty fast in front of cops and nothing is done about it.

The pop-up headlight was, for many years, a simple yet awesome pleasure. It took the car’s most anthropomorphic feature—those eyelike headlights—and made them even more human, allowing them to open and shut like drowsy lids.
