Wow, that's crazy. I honestly think that they ranked the 911 Carrera way too low. I mean hell, which car won several Le Mans in a row... The lightness of a Prelude undoubtedly results in responsive steering, but the 911's do not outweigh the 2G Preludes. The rest of the cars they have on there (Esprit, Supra) are tanks that will obviously have the steering of one.What a strange list of cars they picked. More suitable competition from that period would be: Lotus Elan, Mitsubishi Starion, Rx-7, Supercharged MR2... It's like putting a little thin guy against a room full of obese men and telling them to maneuver across an obstacle course.
The 2g prelude has a better weight distribution (50/50) that allows for the better handling.
And that road test was done in '84 with the base model prelude. For more reading on 2g ludes, go here http://www.preludepower.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=28519 -
the rsx type s will beat the prelude in every comp u put them in hands down.

OH DUDE TELL ME WHERE YUOE FOUND THAT. should i look at SLS for some turbo charging customization. my friends point me in that direction

yah.. but still a swap from a 3.0 to a 3.2 (CL) your looking at like 8000-12000 for the swap... putting on in a rsx is just rediculous.. instead of wasting your money on that why dont you buy me ZEX or something..

RSX-S > Prelude VTEC....
Bullshit. Bring your RSX. Although the K20 is indeed technologically superior, H22A makes up in displacement. Yes there is understeer, but guess what. All FWD have some degree of understeer.

What about a prelude would make it faster??? Weight...no, thats not it. Power, no....thats not it either! Straight line or twisties, the prelude would get it's ass absolutely beat. Preludes are overpriced, overweight, 15 second cars with the worst transmission Honda ever put in a car next to the 3 speed STD tranny.

I hear a lot of shit, but until I see it I won't believe it. Obviously you have a prelude, and I'm definitely not knocking it...its not a bad car, but the point is that stock for stock an rsx is better in pretty much every category than the prelude. Now if they only made them in 4ws ( :rolleyes: ) !

) is even more impressive than its first incarnation, the powerful VTEC engine.In the RSX, i-VTEC helps the responsive 2.0-liter, DOHC engine put out 160-horsepower, while in the RSX Type-S, the engine is pushed to a robust 210-horsepower. Remarkably powerful? Yes. And uncommonly fuel efficient, affording both engines with Low-Emission-Vehicle (LEV-2) ratings and an 110,000-mile service sticker
NOt track numbers but it should help

ya dude my dad has an rsx im itching to see how fast it is. Apparently my complete exhaust kit non turbo with a test pipe gets beaten off the line but then it keeps up with the rsx for acceleration. though undoubtly the rsx has more potential than the gsr. yeah id be up to race though its a really touchy clutch for starts, ill most likely burn the wheels first few times.

I think "more potential" depends on the amount of money you have to burn..id rather drive a boosted gsr then a stock rsx.
