Straight Line Duel Between Subaru BRZ and Honda S2000

Can a roadster powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated (n/a) engine from the past like the (Euro-spec) Honda S2000, which traces its roots back to 1999, compete with a modern day sports car featuring a similar type of engine (albeit a flat-four) like the Subaru BRZ that was only just launched onto the market this year?

Some of you may already suspect the outcome in this "drag race" from French magazine Motor Sport, but why spoil the fun for the rest?

Honda CR-V Driver Loses Control and Flips Over at the Nürburgring Circuit

True, anyone can go to the Nürburgring in Germany for a quick lap around the world's most famous racetrack, but that doesn't mean they should overdo it as common sense says they must be cautious and know the their own as well as their vehicle's limits.

Plus, what looks like a regular, previous generation Honda CR-V equipped with a…sic bull bar isn't exactly the type of vehicle you’d like to push too much at high speeds on the Nordschleife.

The driver of the Japanese crossover lost control of the vehicle as he came out of a quick corner and ended flipping over the guardrail. The accident, as you can imagine, is a very scary one indeed.

Porsche 911 Turbo S Vs. Twin Turbo Honda NSX with 700Hp

We all know (or should know) that any car is as good as its driver. This is why surprises can, and will, happen often in races between cars that are not equally matched on paper.

In this 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) drag race, a completely stock Porsche 911 Turbo S rated at 530-ponnies doesn't seem to stand much of a chance against a heavily modded Honda (Acura in North America) NSX sporting a twin-turbocharged V6 that pushes out 700-horses to the rear axle, but numbers alone can be deceiving.

Sprint over the break to watch the video of the race and how it wend down.

Karma Strikes Again: Civic Driver Chasing Scooter in Tawain gets What he Deserves

One can only speculate what took place before we see the black car, which looks like a previous generation Honda Civic hatchback, madly chasing a scooter on a road in Taiwan, but the driver's intentions are clear.

Luckily for the person on the scooter, the car driver miscalculated the gap between the parked cars on the side of the road and the yellow vehicle in front of him (or her), and ended up crashing.

Hover past the break to see the dashcam footage for yourself.

Houston Police Show us how Thieves Can Strip a Honda Accord in Less than 10 Minutes

We don't know if you've seen this video that was sent to us by Carscoop reader Matt R., but it's pretty darn impressive.

Back in 2010, the Houston Police Department's Auto Theft Division teamed up with Allstate Insurance to demonstrate just how fast your vehicle can be stripped down to the bone for parts using an older generation Honda Accord sedan.

Three workers from auto body shops in Chicago were able to complete the feat in a mere 8 minutes and 19 seconds! Hop over the jump to watch the video.

Honda S2000 Does Crazy Wheelies but Loses the Race

In one of those "wait for it moments", a heavily modded Honda S2000 gave the crowd something to talk about at the TX2K12 drag race event in Texas this past weekend.

The tuned Japanese roadster model was up against a Toyota Supra in a quarter mile drag race. The S2000 shoot off as if someone put a firecracker up its tailpipe performing not one, but several wheelies.

As impressive as they were, the wheelies not only cost the driver the race but he almost lost control of the car. Videos follows after the break.
