Not a fan of Brooks from Drag Times; however, this video demonstrates the violent launches of the SJV as it momentarily lifts its front tires off the ground for several runs. https://youtu.be/_qnUJLhhkgo
My Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V did the same after it was tuned to over 280 hp...until the propeller shaft (drive shaft) bent. It went up quite high, a couple of centimeters, quite spectacular.
It is a shame though to see a SVJ on a drag strip, doesn't make any sense. Same goes to the donuts they performed in that same(?) video. This is a track car, maybe even a road car for having fun but the drag strip? This is no Hellcat.

My dad had a Lotus Europa with a heavily tuned Gordini engine than would do that as well. Car probably only had 150hp but then again it probably weighed 1200lbs...
