the arguement that imports can't pull wheelie's, holds no "water"

You will never believe this, but disintegrating gearboxes are not unheard of on these shores either.

Remember, you can't teach logic to a kid.

60's Chevies never had that problem; they would sling rods first!

I've seen plenty of naturally aspirated V8s with NO power adders doing good wheelies.

Yeah, just go to the US Nats for the Hemi Shootout to see some real wheelstanding with no power adders.

Probably had severe traction issues too if it also was a X frame car.

That's a Mustang doing the wheelie... :)

I guess the caption should read Civic...S2000 being rear-drive. ;)

If thats the case, the caption should read " RWD"....it has nothing to do with torque if your camparing two totaly diff drivetrains

back in the day when the import thing was just starting to ramp up the goal of most Honda and Civic guys was to be able to beat a Mustang. i'd always ask those guys why did they set thier goal/standard so low? so what, you can beat a Mustang :rolleyes: really i think it was a low standard and easy to acheive goal, most 5.0's were running 14's which isn't very fast or quick at all. then the Fast and Furious thing hit and everyone and their mommy had a 10 second car and Nawzzzzzz! it was laughable then and it's still laughable today.

there will always be the imports vs. domestics battle

the coyote will always chase the roadrunner

Tom will always want to eat Jerry

blah, blah, blah

Ford even beat the mustang with an import hahaa...and the SHO didnt even have to run a power adder...since that seems to ba a problem :rolleyes:
