Can you do a wheelie

Sparco Drifter · Jul 8, 2006

Does anyone know how to do a wheelie at take off?
i think it would look sick for some of my muscle cars to do it

Famine · Jul 8, 2006

Moved to GT4 Car Tuning & Settings - though I suspect the answer is "no".

daan · Jul 8, 2006

Don't suspect. The answer is no.

MasterStorm · Jul 8, 2006

I don't think it's possible.

FVracer13 · Jul 8, 2006

I do wheelies off the line in my Viper all the time
its very possible
i'll try to get a video, but it'll take a while

daan · Jul 8, 2006

No, you don't. I'll look forward to the video.

...or post your settings, or even a photo and maybe i'll believe you.

I believe these are his settings.

i got varying degrees of sucess with a besic tuning profile that i've applied to several RWD cars (it works wonderfully on the viper)
1) i drop the front end all the way down w/ hardest suspension up front
2) raise the rear end all the way up w/ softest suspension in the back
3) as much ballast weight as possible, balanced all the way back
4) Always full downforce on the rear, front varys with the car (experiment for best results)
5) NOS set for maximum power
6) Gear it so that your about to run out of gear in 4th as you pass the finish line (blowing NOS the whole time), 4th is usually a good final gear but you may want to go for 3rd or 5th in other cars, you want good acceleration through the gears but you must also remmeber that you loose time shifting, so using all your gears is not always the best

now this is only for RWD cars
for AWD and FWD i have no idea what to do

EDIT: I just checked, and i was able to get consistent low 8's and even some high 7's in the Viper w/ this basic setup

Pink_the_Floyd · Jul 8, 2006

Are wheelies possible?

I've tried it several times with muscles cars but without any "result"

bingo
my drag setting for the 400m do a wheelie all through 1st gear

Does your car wheelie off the line at the Las Vegas drag strip?

Pink_the_Floyd · Jul 8, 2006

Pictures! Videos!

I don't think it's possible, your car had to blow off the line ever so fast in the game you'd run 6's with a Viper...

Sparco Drifter · Jul 9, 2006

Cruddd
i need a car that does a wheelie at the line not a car that does a wheelie at like 3rd - 4th gear :'(
yea get some pics and videos and wad the settings you just gave how to do wheelies?

Thats some malarcy
i tried it and it made my viper slower

i re did some setting and the car does wheelie it just compresses the rear shocks if anything the rear shocks should be hard

FVracer13 · Jul 9, 2006

ugh
just took my viper into photomode after doing a run
Its SO close
the front suspension is completely unloaded, but the wheels are still on the ground

the viper has 948 ft/lbs of torque
i dont have anything with more than that
but if anything else in GT4 has more than that it probably can do a wheelie with the right tuning

EDIT: i tried it with hard rear shocks too, it still didnt quite do it

Famine · Jul 9, 2006

Sparco - if you think of additional things and you're still the most recent poster, please don't make new posts. Edit them into your old one. I've edited your post so the three you made are all in the same one.

I admire your persistence, but it's for naught. What you're seeing in the Viper's fully-unloaded-yet-still-grounded suspension is GT4's inability to allow wheelies from a launch.

Pink_the_Floyd · Jul 9, 2006

Stupid huh?

Dark Elite · Jul 9, 2006

No car can wheelie from a standing start in GT4, although about 40 cars are capable of doing a wheelie at high speeds. Lifting the front end in a car is not a wheelie - every car does this - unless the front wheels actually leave the ground, it does not count as a wheelie. So the answer is no.

(I speak as someone who has to know exactly what a wheelie looks like!)

Case closed?

that's right D.E. :sly:

i can't believe that you can make a wheelie from a standing start, there was a guy some months ago, who wanted to make a wheelie with his charger like in "The fast and the furious" but with no success!

Try a fully moded MB SL-65 AMG
1036FT LBS of torque!!!

What happened to doing wheelies off the line "all the time" then?

*grins*

Oh, and Opendriver, a full-tune SL65-AMG won't wheelie either, but use the bumper camera when you change from 1st to 2nd gear in one and you will realise just how much power there is :lol:

socomplayer2 · Jul 10, 2006

try also putting most or all of the weight in the back

viperpilot · Jul 11, 2006

that does work,.........believe me, the guy with the charger tried the same. the only thing that happens is, that the car goes down after the launch and from the cockpit-view you think you're doing a wheelie, but from the outside you see that the shocks just bound and that's all.

sucahyo · Jul 12, 2006

How about Toyota 7?, it start wheelie at 280 mph, maybe it can do start wheelie too?

260Viper · Jul 19, 2006

U would probably need a lot of torque, a highly-raised rear, and a very low front, an outrageous amount of horses, and big mm tires in the rear

Mt. Lynx · Jul 19, 2006

I say the physicsengine don´t allow it. There are no tyres that can´t grip enough with the amount of torque needed.

But if some persists, use a racecar with alot of downforce (max rear, min. front), max ballast in the rear, as low as possible in the rear, and as high as possible in the front.

i have done the wheelie i can proof it 2

And you are aware that we're talking about doing wheelie's at starts and not at 300 mph?
