Bucket List Wheelie?

[SteveSS]

I think this has been on here before but I just watched "The Bucket List." It kind of pissed me off the way they smashed a Mopar and a Mustang. I does have me thinking. Aside from the O.J. Simpson item I responded to, what else is there. Seems most of the folks here have led a pretty awesome life including getting a B Body.

I would like to own a car that can do a wheelie. Not the Demon but a full-blown spanking wheelie! (That I could drive on the street. Late on a Saturday night.) I think I can get there for about 15K. Maybe even less with a Duster, 4th Gen Camaro, or a Fox body. First is this possible and second what's on your list?

Go with the duster, strong motor with a nice shot off the line and properly tuned suspension will get you there.

I don’t know if that will give you the “big bad ***” wheelie you’re looking for but it’ll pull the wheels.

Use the duster with a mid mounted engine!

Not too far back!

Got that off the list at 16. Dam junk Chevy front ends don't like slapping pavement.

Saw a beautiful 67 chevy two stand up on the back bumper. Re entry wasn't a pretty site. It was a OPS and the driver wasn't use to a prepped track. He wasn't the only one that night. Good show though !

It only took one time to learn not to push the clutch back in and let off the gas. Kaboom
