I posted this in the DE section as well - but thought my 996 clan would get a kick out of this!

My buddy just upgraded the suspension in his 87 911. Here are some links to pics taken at the last DE (April 07).

Note in these pictures the front passenger tire off the ground - WITH a passenger.
(1) About 3 inches off

(2) Another Wheelie

Note in this picture BOTH passenger tires off the ground - WITH A PASSENGER.
(3) That front tire looks about 6 inches off... SWEET.

I've seen plenty of one-wheel "ups" but never a "two-wheel up"

Honest question: Is that something to be proud of...or is the car's balance/suspension questionable?
On level ground, I would assume that all 4 wheels solid on the ground would be more desireable?

Fast track, off camber turn, with elevation change. This pic shows that the suspension wants to keep the frame "flat"
Definitely not the most contact with the ground - but the suspension is highly adjustable.

I just thought it was neat to see how body roll can be transformed into tire lift

You call that tire lift?

THIS is tire lift



Of course, this was a little bit more than a DE event, but still impressive when they did it lap after lap

Of course you can always get someone to 'assist' you in getting that front tire off the track.......



By ramming into you at speed!
