I was waiting for you to chime in.

So do I win $5 bucks then since the RSX runs a quicker 1/4?

Yeah, you do have the slowest car on the street. About every fourth gen Prelude out there has an H22A, its nothing uncommon anymore.

you most not go out on the street very much i have 1 of 2 true jdm h22a in a prelude in fargo i know of a civic with one in it

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.

[Flowcus]

Expecially looks... I really would like an RSX Type-S. I have heard of them putting down 300whp at 6psi on a certain turbo kit... cant remember which one.

[theoblivious]

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

[seanjohn]

RSX typeS > Prelude

In EVERY aspect

Its simple

[Guest]

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..

[AaronJ]

RSX type S owns preludes from every angle. The only thing a prelude is good for is a donor car for the engine to stick into an EF.

And preludes handle like shit, noseheavy pigs.

[AcesHigh]

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.

[out there]

my gf has a prelude s (f22 :(), and with nearly 200k on it, it still handles better than a lot of cars that i've driven

[My NOva]

ur only prob. with the rsx type s is a lot of lag , its boost is good at about thirty. on but there is plenty of room for h22a built w/300 whp with out turbo

[out there]

i thought the discussion was about stock vs stock?

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.

[out there]

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: ) !

[Guest]

wut kind of numbers dose a non vtec rsx make?
