From experience, moderate wheelies don't slow you down at all. I feel that is because aero is not a factor. A monster wheelie will absolutely burn a bunch of ET...

My theory is: Race cars that have quicker ets doing monster wheelies is because, when the car begins to come down it essentially "throws" the car forward. This applies to cars with high ground clearance that pitch and rotate and relatively moderate power.
