  • v6 torque

    Just curious...Is it even possible for a v6 camaro/firebird to lift the front end off the floor? like even an inch?

    How much torque and power would you need to make the car do that?

    Aside from slicks, I always wondered what it took for a car like ours to do that...

    I've seen pictures of james' car where a tire was off the ground an inch or so. Viper is likely doing the same as well as some others.

        what is needed to make that happen...like what kind of torque are we generating here?...I dont know james' car, but I know viper is running 11.2x right now so hes running some nice power right now...

          its not really as much about the power as it is the take off

          lets say you have 300 RWTQ, if you are just using your footbrake and brake torquing your car, you arent going to pull the wheels up, but if you have a trans brake, you are more likely to pull the wheels up

          especially with sticky tires

          and yes i know i didnt help you at all, sorry

              if you run sticky tires with a good clutch setup im sure you could

              but be glad you dont, pulling the front tires off of the ground just shows your car isnt setup properly, and you are losing a ton of time

                  no I am sure with her power a good clutch and a sticky tire she would kill her tranny...


                  now if she had a good tranny, clutch, tires, suspension, and lost a little weight(the car, not you kristen) she could.


                  Its more about weight transfer/shock of power. I could get the front wheels to lift on my 92 GMC jimmy with a 4.3L v6... I had to get the truck rocking a bit first then the front would start lifting.

                      There could be 3 of you in your car, and you would still have a driver weight advantage over me.

                        even w/decent numbers, you still need your suspension set up right for weight transfer.

                            haha, your like a jockey, maybe you should look at changing careers kristen, I heard they make a ton of money....

                            anyways yea thanks guy, I know its not good to pull up the front tires, infact I think it actaully isnt structurally good for the car when you come back down either, but it looks sweet....I always kinda figured it had to do with launching and the weight transfer, along with power of course...
