will your A4 do a wheelie on a hard launch?

I saw a co-worker do this with his 1.8T AWD - this was his daily driver - about 3 years back. Others on this board think its not possible.

Since I didn't have an A4 back then, I never asked about his mods. But if anyone should know if it's possible for a 4 cyl 1.8T doing a wheelie, you should. Is it possible?

I am not game enough to abuse the drive train like that, I have done plenty of track work, But a Big Dump of the Clutch from a standing start, nah.... Only If you pay for repairs....

No please don't abuse your mean machine. Thanks for the info.

I mean think about it, it's a front engined, AWD car. I doubt it would do a wheelie with 1000 lb/ft. A4 != Tractor Pull.

because it was a 4 cylinder and light in the front end. Moving forward to today, it was something special, very special. So special that few believe what I saw on that day.

You sure it wasn't FWD?

Did you see BOTH front tires come off the ground, or maybe just one side?

I assumed that both wheels lifted. But after seeing "Audiboy's" picture that he posted on a similar thread of mine, I now know that this probably what happen to the car I witnessed doing a "wheelie" (using quotes now because it was "just" a 1/2 wheelie).

We were both stopped, waiting for the stoplight to go green. My car was to the left of his, so I only a view of the driver's front wheel. Audiboy's picture explains what I saw some 3 years ago.
