I can not believe this little ass wheelie tore up as much as it did. This is the first time i have got to see it. It smashed the oil pan, broke the rack and bent the rack mounts on the K member. Totally redoing the whole setup so that it doesn't happen again on a baby wheelie.

If he would have stayed in it, it would have been on the back bumper at the 330, it was just startin to really come up and build boost when he let out......... I'd say it will almost do it now.

Turbo cars don't come back down- they just keep going up!

I don't know, forgot to get my ticket. It's usually 6-7 tenths difference though, I have done it a few times before and the Fallen 9 cars do it every now and then.

Wow, that tore all that up!! Im glad my camaro isnt that fragile, it took a year to get it to quit trying to go on the bumper all the time. I had to change out my steering rack bolts once though because they were ground down, lol. I have Madman "Save Your Ass" Bars installed now "just in case" something goes wrong. Maybe you can put something like that on your car, atleast its something to look into.

Yeah, it was a funky setup before. The rack was really low. It hit the rack, which pushed into the oil pan, and bent the rack mounts and broke the rack in the meantime.

The new setup is a 3 piece K member, stiletto rack, new oil pan and some stop limiters which are similar to the oh shit bars you are talking about. Mounting position for the rack is different too.

I had madmans bars on the trans am and tested them out a couple times.
