PRELUDE vs CAMARO!!!
#42
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.

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.

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.

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