I had a 94 Prelude for my first car. I loved it. Almost sold it and bought an LT1 Camaro, glad i didnt. I started looking at F-Bodies again, always liked them and always loved V8s. Found a great deal on a 99 Z28. I have to say i love this car twice as much as my old Lude already. It just has full exhaust, rest is completely stock (lid will be on soon). My Prelude did handle a hell of a lot better, but i had pretty nice suspension on it. Im anxious to see how this Camaro will handle with better suspenion. Ive always liked F-Bodies and good American muscle (not Mustangs) more than any import, but i do like some imports. Preludes are way cooler than Celicas and Tiburons and crap, those suck. Preludes are nice little cars. Hell mine with bolt ons rolled a 95 Mustang GT 5.0. It was ugly for him. It was my buddy and he had no excuses. He had some skinny chick in his car and i had my buddy whos 200+lbs. And Mustangs use the excuse that we have bigger displacement... My 2.2L rolled a 5.0L, whats their excuse for that?

But yea, you can make anything fast, but fast V8s are so much better than whiny little 4 bangers, no matter how fast they are. I guarantee that Prelude, and most other 4 bangers that fast spend a hell of a lot more money to get there than say LS1s do. You should have some respect for fast 4 bangers though.

Meesa got a 4G63 FWD. Probably puttin down about 250hp (maybe). Its a fun car but FWD is no fun at the track. Especially with wheel hop that makes your wipers turn on.

when i owned a 95 prelude I looked into building the block for high boost but the price tag was pretty bad. To run forged internals the block needs to be resleeved which is a good chunk of change. To make 500hp you'd have to drop a good $7-8k into the engine alone. 500hp in an LS1 costs maybe $3500... which is why I sold the prelude for the T/A and havn't dropped a penny into it Grant it the prelude weighs much less but will run the same times given the traction issues.

I'd like to see the turbo prelude race a turbo camaro.

Cam and 28" tires with stock gears, um call me stupid but that isn't right for a drag car.

Why? To see an "equal" race?

2.2L turbo vs 5.7L turbo ... think about it

Not at all. Actually its the Camaros problem because he just lost to a 2.2L engine ... badly


Edit: on a side note ... I'd imagine there are maybe 50 street legal fbodys on this site trapping more than 143 mph. So how many Fbodys would that leave behind the prelude? I love Fbodys ... let me reiterate. I love everything fast. I don't see why there are so many import haters.

Simple minds are always scared of what they don't understand. And, therefore, show hatred to what they are scared of. Nothing scares and deflates the ego of a true blue blindly loving domestic fanboi more than losing to a honda.
