P.R. stunt? I remember when Honda came out with the CBX bike that there were claims that release was delayed because the handlebars kept bending under acceleration. Total BS.

That was my first thought. It’s so powerful it bends the frame. I’ve absolutely got to get one of those.

CBX that six cylinder bike in th e70's? A rather poor joke actually, engineering whiz bang aside. Not all that fast, and lost power as it heated up.

Mostly sounded cool and looked great.

I’m with you.
Did the engineers NOT bake in the torque specifications for the frame?
Sounds like the GM engineers are at a loss on how to create a stronger frame? They’re frikkin engineers, furcrysake!
