Not sure what your asking. But the way I read the question ...NO.. Unless it wheel hops!

Only one car I have ever seen pull all four wheels off the ground during a launch. It's name was " Hemi under Glass " I have seen cars come out of the hole on 3 wheels.

It's only doing a very large wheelie here


Marc
No, they can't.

nope, unless it flips backwards


Max Cruise
Yes they can. if the car really hooks up hard and pulls a wheelie, the car "rear" back so hard on the wheelie bars, the rear wheel come off the ground.

Yes it is possible. If the front wheels lift on acceleration on the start and the rear stops touch the track the rear tires can also lift.

Yes, on a very hot day but once they do the driver will shut it down.

They do to a degree if you ever watch them show the rear tires , they come up off the ground when they burn out, the lack of contact with the pavement is what is actually causing the tires to spin instead of creating traction. That is why they use the bleach to try and create better contact because it's lost power otherwise.

Yes, 2 ways, 1 if the car is AWD, Ive seen the DSM's those up on one wheel, so it doesnt seem to far fetched, or 2, if they wheelie hard enough that when the car smacks the back bumper, it just keeps going, unloading the rear wheels and going up on just the bumper. Look up Byron Dragways wheelie contest, specifically the orange Gremlin
