How do you make a v6 mustang pop wheelie?

Performing a wheelie on a Mustang GT (or any car) is dangerous and should only be attempted by experienced drivers in a controlled environment, such as a racetrack with safety measures in place. I strongly advise against attempting this on public roads. Doing so is illegal and extremely risky, potentially leading to serious injury or death.

That being said, if you are an experienced driver on a closed course with proper safety equipment, here's a general idea of the techniques involved. Remember, this is not a comprehensive guide, and practice and skill are crucial:

* High RPM Launch: The key is to get the engine revs up to a high RPM (close to the torque peak) before releasing the clutch. This provides the necessary power to lift the front end.

* Clutch Control: This is the most critical aspect. A smooth and controlled release of the clutch is essential. Too fast, and you'll just spin the tires; too slow, and you won't get enough power.

* Throttle Control: Once the clutch is engaged, you'll need to apply the throttle progressively. Too much throttle too quickly will cause a harsh launch and potentially cause a loss of control.

* Weight Transfer: Leaning slightly forward can help transfer weight to the rear wheels, making the wheelie easier to initiate.

* Steering Input: Keep the steering wheel straight. Any sudden movement can cause the car to lose control.

* Practice: Mastering a wheelie takes significant practice and refined technique. Start by practicing gentle clutch drops to get a feel for the car's behavior. Gradually increase the RPM and throttle input as you improve.

* Safety Gear: If you do practice, always use safety gear such as a helmet, protective clothing, and ideally, a roll cage.

Again, attempting a wheelie on a public road is extremely dangerous and illegal. This information is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as an encouragement to perform dangerous stunts. If you want to learn to perform automotive stunts, consider taking professional driving instruction at a racetrack.
