I was talking to a guy who just came back from a trip to the states and he claims that he saw a slantsix powered duster that made a wheelstand!
he claims the car had all the usual stuff to make it lighter, (fiberglass front, battery in the trunck, fuel cell etc)
Now this keeps on bugging me and I know I don't really NEED to know but I'm just curious.
Is it possible to build a slant powered car that pulls its front wheels of the ground?
or is he just BS me?

Barry Harrison's 66 "Six Pak" Valiant does a pretty good job lifting the front wheels.
