Default 99 prelude vs 03 cobra

so im driving my daily to school this morning and get caught at a redlight when i look to my left i see a local k/b cobra hes making all kinda noise so i said what the heck lets see how bad this will be. when the light turned green we both took off we did a 0-70/75 before traffic he pulled a good 4.5 to 5 cars on me. the prelude is stripped autocross ready car full exhaust drop in filter blah blah blah the normal stuff but i was impressed that my 235hp honda only lost by 4.5 cars. We will try again when i finish the 500hp ls1 s10 im building........... the outcome should be much diffrent

nice! i'm keeping the heat in mine (it is a heat only truck no ac from the factory). I have a feeling i'm gonna run into a wiring nightmare with the LS7, plus i'm keeping the factory dry sump system as well. Good thing i'm relocating the battery to the back, it opens up a nice spot for the dry sump tank.

Might have only been a stock eaton with a pulley. If he had a KB, he should have put bus lengths on you.
