Thanks Rick -
As I recall, wasn't there some other people or cars involved in this "road test"? Wasn't it a comparison test of some sort? My memory is a little fuzzy on this.
If so, you would think that they would have been caught.....I would imagine it would be pretty hard to hide a car that is pulling the left front wheel when launched! Especially one that is supposd to be stock!
Doing a darned wheelie is usually the first sign that things may not be what they seem.
It also amazes me that more people didn't say anything about this car back then....but perhaps they did and the rag didn't let on.
