Physics Help: About flipping a car.?

Like a world‘s strongest car flip Medley.How much force is needed to lift in between the front and rear tire of one side of the car to actually lift the car high enough until it reaches a full 90 degree angle and flips over?The car weighs 2,400lbs, and it‘s a Toyota Corolla, 2002.Does any body know the answer? Convert it to kilograms or pounds, please.

Answer:

it can add more power.but mostly it just adds noise really depends on what vehicle and what other upgrades u have done or are planning to do .90% of the time it is a waste of money and time

if you go with a higher end CAI, you will get some power and noise at high rpm. The hp change is hardly noticeable, around 10hp.
alrighty, apparently the car is 1.69m wide. I'll assume that the car is evenly balanced from left to right, so the gravitational force will apply in the middle. The weight is 10679N I'll also assume that you can always lift at a 90° to the car. 0.845m x 10679N 9024 Nm this is the torque acting due to gravity. 9024 Nm / 1.69m 5,339.5 N So you need to apply at least (I'd say more) than 5339.5 N, which is equivalent of lifting a weigh with the mass of 544 kg or 1,200 lbs. But again this is an estimate of what you need at least, it's probably some more.
