    I think I have come close just goofing around without really trying. 295/50/15s . 4:11 Rear gear and and the low first of a 700R with a 350 pushin' it. And freshly redone pavement in front of the old HS. My weight ratio is 60/40.

    Just ask the Govna about his unintentional wheelie while transporting a motor in the rear of his Chevy! Landing, not so good...
