When it comes to wheelstands. Which of these bodied cars look the best pulling a monster stand. IMO I am a big fan of watching the B bodies yank the front hoops even though I drive an A body. Just curious with all the recent threads regarding wheelstands.

Which bodied car pulls the best wheelstand
single choice

I enjoy watching any car CARRY the front wheels drown the track a ways as opposed to a traditional wheel stand.

The thing with short cars like mine is that I will
NEVER get the fronts as high as a B-body... just not
enough wheel base BUT a short car looks better due
to the angle

I dont remember the wheel base on a E-body but without
checking a few thing I would think they can pull
them the highest.... without tearing up the assend.
What you have to look at is 2 factors... 1, is the
wheel base... 2nd is the departure angle... this is
the angle from the bottom of the rear tire to the
closest point that will contact the ground on the
back of the car (we use this angle when designing
cars for coming off of car haulers). On a E-body
the tire is fairly far back and the splash pan in
the rear slopes under pretty good. Also a car that
has a good bit of body seperation in the rear will
have a greater departure angle(like a leaf spring
car does)

The station wagons get my vote.

I actually enjoy any kind of wheelstand, even little wheelie pops.

I gotta say that I don't care what body or even make it is, I dig wheelstands; especially, as others have noted, those that carry out a ways. I don't care for carnage, but serious pitch rotation is a beautiful and often graceful thing.
If my car didn't yank the wheels, half the fun would be gone.
From what I've seen, I'd agree with the earlier post about E-bodies - 'Cudas, especially - being able to get the most vertical of any Mopar. A wagon in the air always makes me as happy as a kid at Christmas.
