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 agree nothing like seeing a monster C or maybe a big impala or galaxie carry the front for 100' or so. Monsters of the dragway

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.
