CRX with wheelie bars

It's still like racing with a 3 legged dog though.

this is true ......the wheelie bars actually do function ......just not the way you'd think .............i remember a few months ago seeing a vw rabbit with a wheelie bar at the local dragstrip

first reaction ...."he he he he".......

second reaction ....curiosity ,so i asked the guy about it ....."they keep the weight on the front wheels" ..........the guy won my respect when he ran the thing and it went low 7s in the eighth mile ........turns out he had a procharger feeding the little four cly .......for the most part i aint got no respect for the "poser" ricers .....but there are some ricers out there that run pretty good ....and if its fast i like it ,no matter what it is
