uh, there is an allen screw that holds the mirror on. I loosened one on a car once just for fun - it landed in the back seat on the 1-2 shift in a Shelby Charger. Has nothing to do with "build quality."

How many full interior Hondas run those times? How many S2000s can launch like that on slicks? How many S2000's can run those times with just a supercharger, full exhaust, gears, and bigger injectors? Maybe none? Please. If anything, that video showed Honda has a long way to go before its "sports cars" can compete with Ford's cheap pony cars in the build quality arena.

Well, if the red mist had set in before his run, he may not even have consciously realized that the mirror had fallen off until after he was done.

that was a 1993 mustang? so after 11 years the mirror finally fell off.....

noticed he did his burnout in 2nd gear...... try doing that in the S2000. It would probably just stall.

Hmm funny thing is after 15 years the mirror in my old 85 Accord LX hatch did the same thing and I didnt launch it at 6000 RPM either. =)

The important question, then, is whether your 85 Accord LX hatch could do burnouts in second gear...
