silly question
I know this is a kinda silly question, but I recently saw a video clip posted by one of the forum members (mojo I think...) of a C4 doing a double wheelie, and it got me curious....how much HP do you have to be putting down to wheelie a vette like that? or is there more to it than just HP/TQ (slicks?)

This car at that time had a 422 intercooled supercharger and some nitrous. Solid axle, full cage, the whole nine yards.
Look for JD 383 he knows a little more about the car than I do.
The owner of that car passed away last year, the current owner is running N/A with a 408 under the hood, later this year he plans on having the supercharger back on it.
This is the cars progression over the years with the last run on this video, the best I've ever witnessed:

On another note, this car is only making 450 at the crank and yanks the wheels on every run(just not as high)

Dang....I'm guess at this point that wheelies can't be done on a N/A 350, even if it does have alot of work...
