    Not a lot of drag races are won with the wheels in the air...... The best motion on a drag car is forwards, not skyward!!!!! Wheelies only look kewl, they do very little to lower the ET or add to consistency... You wanna be a crowd pleaser, or a good racer??

    If VW on other such front ends, there would be more of them on the track, and fewer struts or A-Arm set ups..... Take a look at what the competitive and consistent cars run, if there were a better system to be running, I imagine they would have it........
