that is a bit of traction... and a bit of torque reaction to get it to do that... trying to turn the car around on itself... the reason wheelie bars were invented i think... hehe

Cost of car = $$$$$$
Cost of wheelie bars = $

When you see the comparison you realise that it is money well spent.

Didn't he just miss a collision with a train (which was CGI) and actually colided with the truck (He didn't actually hit it, there was a ramp just before it on an angle the camera couldn't see it)....
