Mine was driven on the street, but it wasn't a "street car". 400rwhp, ladders, 4.57 gears, 14x32 slicks, glide with a brake, and very light. And even that wouldn't wheelie on a less than great surface.
I had been racing at a small airport strip, where we occasionally had to stop for landing airplanes. I thought it was leaving good, winning some rounds.
Then a real strip opened. First launch WHOA! What the heck was THAT? OH, so THATS what a wheelie feels like!
They are a lot of fun, a worthwhile goal. Just seek your wheelie as a PART of going fast, not the end goal.
