i dont' think it's possible. you could take both swaybars out, put new control arms/bushings in, drag springs and shocks. but weight transfer alone probably isn't enough to pick the wheels up.

it is possible but of course with major mods. new issue of muscle mustang they advertise 0-178 mph in 7.9 sec on street tires and that guy has the front end off the ground a foot. turbopeople.com i think it is.

The 28x10.5W BF goodrich DRAG RADIALS that big daddy runs that will last you around 3000-3500 miles on the street are infinitely different from a real street radial like a BFG G-force KDW or a kumho ecsta supra. Don't even try and compare the 2.
