  • Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
  • FUELLED by methanol alcohol, this Chrysler PT Cruiser currently holds a world record for the longest wheelie. Car enthusiast ‘Nitro’ Mike Kunz, of BC, Canada, has a long established passion for drag racing and chose to modify the vehicle into a wheelstander ‘to be a little different’. With a top speed of 130mph, this car set the record for the longest wheelie at 2,500 feet in August 2012. But Mike hopes to break that record and take it even further. Mike is somewhat of a legend on the racing scene and has travelled across the USA to show the car at different race tracks where fans can even sign its front end.

    So I was thinking....
    Put top military grade reinforcement armor on it, lift kit, better all terrain tires all around, top notch bulletproof plexiglass, and then you will have a unstoppable machine!!!!

    Unpopular opinion, I actually think the stock PT Cruiser is a good looking car. Not sure why it gets so much hate. It's the closest thing you can get to retro styling in a vehicle made after 2010.

    Everyone loved these cars.
    And i mean everyone.
    So when i hear popular opinion is to make fun of them thats funny in itself.
    Most ppl making fun of them is likely driving something more boring.
    Plus theres this one.

      Some states concider it a truck. Truck license n all.
      For various reasons.
      Take the back seats out and it's a flatbed.
      The PT came about as it was originally a Plymouth.
      Plymouth Trucks
      Since Plymouth was leaving at the time they decided to make it a Chrysler.

    While impressive this to me IS NOT an actual wheelie. A wheelie needs to be balanced by the driver,
    not a device....

    Is it really a wheelie if you need to involve a wheelie bar? If this is going on a guinness world record book it may as well be called assisted.

    • @exessivemite9478

      its the keep the driver safe so it doesn't roll over immediately like that famous pinto thtat flipped over right as he did his wheely

      Bars are for the riders safety. It's still driving on it's 2 rear wheels.

    • @hjonathan2010
      @hjonathan2010 4 роки тому +1

      Its a crutch though. If you need wheelie bars on a car, then it wasn't meant to flip. Do bicycles need wheelie bars? Do motorcycles need wheelie bars?

    • @j0nny93rs

      I agree in a wheel comp they should learn to throttle control like monster truckers. Wheelie bars in drag racing I understand fully though.

    • @hjonathan2010
      @hjonathan2010 4 роки тому

      @@j0nny93rs i agree with what youre saying. For a drag race where theres not much throttle control because its gung-ho or be left in the dust so they def need wheelie bars. And same for monster trucks that have a crap ton of horse power and that those drivers have amazing throttle control. But if its none of those and its for a world record they should def specify thats its an assisted with wheelie bar or not.

  • @robertwilliams-wd6cp

    Where's the skill when you have a 4 foot wheelie bar ? Get a computer controlled throttle , with wind resistance ought to be able to wheelie cross country with independent rear brakes .
