Can any cars do wheelies in gt5?

[aga080]

I remember the Toyota GT1 being able to do a highspeed wheelie in GT4.

Is that possible in GT5 in any car?

The seats on JL's Tank Car are way back. I would assume if Queen Latifah is the driver, the car can easily do wheelies.

Hell yeah.. 👍

Try running low on fuel with a Lamborghini Miura and fettle the suspension settings favourably since its a known fact that in real life when low on fuel the Miura would encounter front end lift so if PD have moddeled it correctly the same should happen

Hit a pylon with a Lotus Elise, it'll do mad tricks.

people seem to be confusing jumps with wheelies?

 

[calan_svc]

Mine was a wheelie initiated by landing a jump. That pic ^^ was after the landing.

When driving the current Mirua fast it wants to tip over even with the lowest ride height. I have a hard time keeping the rubber side down. No wheelies yet though.

More posts and soon we'll have a wheelie special event...
Most of my wheelies were thanks to jumps though.

I got the RX7 spirit to do a wheelie, coming out of the tight chicane up the hill on Cape ring, with racing soft tyres and 590hp.

Pic or it didn't happen.

That's not a wheelie...


I was hoping the escuda would be able to do them as it did in gt3...no such luck so far

 

[calan_svc]

Sure it is. I just used extra downforce on the front to bounce the car and initiate it.

Ever seen how monster trucks do them?

 

[rileyra]

No, a wheelie needs to be initiated from the car's own power not from a bounce. Not to mention being able to maintain the wheelie...I very much doubt your car did anything but bounce the front end up for a second and then right back down. NOT a wheelie

 

[eight6er]

This pic was taken later in the wheelie, I don't have a pic of the start because I didn't save the replay.
It just hooked and stood up on the back wheels when i put the power down from the exit of the corner,
I wouldn't have bothered taking the pic if the car just bounced.

 

[rileyra]

...sigh

Pffff... technicality.

wheel·ie (hwl, w-)
n.
A stunt in which the front wheel or wheels of a vehicle, such as a bicycle or motorcycle, are raised so that the vehicle is balanced momentarily on its rear wheel or wheels.

Pretty sure my Camaro up there did a wheelie, so there.

 

[GTlondoner]

Im waiting for someone to hit a traffic cone an piccy that
maybe youtube a car park right against it with chase cam an floor it so it looks like front end lifts an stays up
When really ya just run over a cone

Pffff... technicality.

If it's not sustainable it doesn't count!

 

[C-ZETA]

Yes, but jumping to initiate the wheelie is done in mid-air. To perform wheelies your wheels need to be on the ground to start with.

 

[gold_ultima]

Yeah, like an erection.

 

[rileyra]

That's why I say jumping isn't a wheelie, it's just bouncing the front end. If you could jump/bounce and manage to keep the front end off the ground then I might consider it. All these pictures are showing is the front end's momentum being reversed by the ground/suspension. It's like throwing a rubber ball at the ground, sure it bounces but it doesn't stay suspended in the air... A wheelie needs to be doable from flat ground with all wheels making contact then lifting the front end up via the car's own power.

 

[calan_svc]

If the car is moving forward, it is being sustained. Your personal wheelie definition needs to include a minimum distance on that sustained forward motion in order for it to be considered valid.

 

[rileyra]

Distance doesn't matter. Time is what matters. If you can hold the front in the air for more than a few seconds then it's a it can be a wheelie. But really needs to initiated by power to the rear wheels... ergo a wheelie...not a jumpie or a bouncie

Ok... I'm gonna take that challenge when I get home from work tonight.

How many is a "few" seconds?

 

[rileyra]

Show me 5+ I triple dog dare you!

 

[CivicInLake]

what makes you think a wheelie has to come from launching the car? all it is is having the front two wheels off the ground for a second >.>

but no, no cars can do wheelstands from a launch in this game
if you come out of a corner with a bank at the right angle you might get lucky and pull 1 or 2 of the fronts off for a half second but not much more then that
