I know someone with an almost stock 2001 GT (nothing major other than gears, exhaust, struts and TB ) with slicks and he's making about 240 rwhp. He gets his tires an inch off the ground when he's hooking up. He has aftermarket axles and rear end as well though, and launches hard.

That car must be light as hell and be taking a 6k launch to get the tires up with that much hp.

He has done some weight reductions and yes, he launches hard !

I saw in MM@FF a guy pop the front end up by taking the struts out. He had a stock motor because he blew his race motor, and he had a procharger. I thought it was cool.

It's not horsepower or torque that pulls the front end up. It's suspension, load, gear ratios and how hard the clutch will bite. With a 90/10 and a 50/50, slicks and a 3.73, you should be able to come pretty close with a 6k launch.

Its not so much of a how much hp/tq thing than it is suspension. Without the right suspension, the front tires wont come off the ground unless your making an insane amount of power.

sorry for the double post about the suspension... Joes was typing his at the same time as me, just got done a little quicker
