nsx engine?

I would actually say that RSX-S and Prelude VTEC are evenly matched. Although the K20 features both variable valve timing and cam phasing, the H22A does make up for that in sheer displacement. Two litres against two point two litres, both having two hundred horses. Although the fourth gen Prelude handles well, I'd be willing to guess that an RSX handles better. The H22A is a heavier block that causes all the weight to be distributed in the front.

Try Autocrossing with your oversteering H22A tank and say that it handles better than an RSX. In its time the Prelude was an above average handler for something that is FWD, but times have changed.

It was a joke that did not pan out, about me owning a h22 prelude.We should look up stock 1/4 mile times for the RSX and a H22 4g.

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
