That wouldnt help too much. Front engine front drive cars are very light in the back. the only thing there is the gas tank.

i know of 3 jumps like this around here. 2 on south end of city and 1 in springbank. It's not a hard landing like in the vid (only a foot or two in the air at the most), but you can fly up 50 feet in distance. I've jumped my '97 civic many times over the years, and never broken a thing. Although i can't say the same for a friends civic and the poor little hyundai rental car i had once. i learned that there are limits on how big a jump the stock suspension can take. oops. One or two feet seems to be ok, but not too much more

Cool! :clap:

The video reminds of the classic Civic+eggs vs. Beretta story, or the Dukes of Hazzard.

You can get a somewhat similar airborne effect going fast out of the Sir Winston Churchill parking lot at the lights. :confused:

I've seen that :rofl:

I think doing it in anything nicer than a neon is a crime though
