Florida,
Aside from looking cool, would wheelie bars keep my car from spinning and wheel hop with slicks on, by holding the weight forward as it rocks back on hard acceleration?

Are there any prictures of street Vipers with wheelie bars.

No, No and no. Wheelie bars attach to the rear axle, you have two half shafts so no way, secondly you have a severe mis-understanding of the physics involved. You want all the rear weight transfer you can get. when acceleration the weight goes to the back of the car for traction, if you "hold the weight forward" (which is not what wheelie bars do) you make a bad situation worse. There are a couple Vipers with wheelie bars, but those are solid axle drag cars. This is something I know about.

Absolutely not. Just get your launch down and you will be fine. Also try taking out psi from the tires. you may have them overinflated. Hows your tune if any?

Sal runs a 6 in the 1/4 mile with no wheelie bars at over 200mph.
