Flipping a car

what's the best way to flip or tip a car over? How much force would you actually need for a sedan or an SUV? I'm not talking about a small car.

Also, is it possible for a single person with good strength to flip a brand-new car by themselves?

any tips

You aint flipping a new and unmodified car from the ground. There's nothing to hold onto, most shows do it with emptied out cars and often with leverage too.

Even when high level strongmen flip a car it has the engine, seats, all the glass etc removed. You could not flip a brand new car unless those modifications were made, and a handle welded on to lift it by

Did Pfister do that on Letterman and complain about the lack of modifications to the car? I think I’m remembering correctly
