Well the other day I just got my new 98 SH Prelude, great car I love it. Well anyway my friends all wanted a shot at me to see how fast the Prelude actually is. So three of my friends got in their cars which were a 2001 GSR Integra. a 97' Acura 3.0 CL and a 95 3000GT. Now the first car I went against was the 3000GT. We drove out to a long stretch of road out in the boonies where the cops never patrol and we went at it. I smoked the GT by about a car length and a half. After the race he was bitch about how he got a bad start, and I told him you got a bad start cause you drive an automatic but still he continued to bitch. I then raced the GSR. He had one mod done to his car which was a OBX muffler. We raced and I also handed him his ass also. I beat him by about a car length. Then the most suprizing of all, the CL raced me and I barley won by about a few inches of my car ahead of his. Well I just thought I share my story with you all.

nice kills brand new and its got 3 kills already lol

good job bro..keep up the good work...

good kill i think the gsr is supposed to be faster than you
those 3000gts arent that quick in the lower trim models

I think the GSR's have 170hp, but its lighter than the Prelude, I don't know if that can compensate for 30hp though. The 3000GT lower models have 160hp.
Good kills though.

my 2 friends raced each other
one had a prelude with only an exhuast and the other had a gsr with i/h/e
and they both were pretty much even with five tries.

keep in mind the integra weighs 2600 pounds to the preludes close to 3000 i think

Nice kills! What the hell was that guy talking about? How can an automatic have a bad start?

yeah the gs-r has like 170 and is lighter, it should have been able to keep up with you a little more maybe needed a tune up or somthin lol , i dunno bout beating though, i haven't tried to race a prelude yet.:sun:

about the automatic, yeah automatics are usaully more consistant at the tracks, but with honda/acura's we can usually rev up and then drop the clutch so we can have more torque at launch. Yes i know this can be done with a automatic using the brake pedal but i don't think this guy knew to use the technique of using the stall converter. But don't you think driving a stick is just more fun?

my friend has a stock 94 gs-r, and for some reason its faster than any other gs-r ive raced. Ive beaten modded gs-rs, but he walks by like 1/2 a car every time. He said it was before a certain sensor was put in or something so the 94-95s are quicker? carstats.com says the 95 was 15.2 the 94 was 15.5 and the 2000 is 15.7. it says a prelude SH is 15.5

Nice kills. The GS-R suprised me, I thought it would have been alot closer!:eek:

Yea i think the 94-95 is the best year of the GSR's because it's the lightest. I believe that's it's quicker than a new one, even if the new one has intake or so.:D

congrats on the kills.. sounds like your having a lot of fun with your new lude.

And to all those who think that gs-r's are faster than preludes... I've raced my lude against many gsr's and never lost to any that weren't heavily mod'd. then again, i've never lost to a 5th gen lude either... but i've only raced 2 of those :D

Hey thanks for the congrats guys and this is for 95vtec, what do you got under the hood man?

I dont have a whole lot... just a short ram intake and a ractive exhaust.. plus some little tweeks here and there.... thats it..

That's cool, I was just wondering the specs on the older models compared to the 5th gen. Just because when you commented you said that you beat two new gens in your ride and I just wanted to see what you had.

the 4th gens are a bit lighter then the 5th gens and the obdI computer in the 4th gens supposedly responds better to mods then the obdII (which is in the 96's and the 97-01's) making the 93 -95 vtec 4th gens a little bit faster.. it really depends on the driver though.

i thought about getting a prelude but then a changed my mind

SILVIA !!!!!!!!!


yea anyways nice kills those Acura's are quite fast the CL that is. I know a guy with a Type S now i checked the specs and decided that if i raced him with a T5 i would probably get my ass handed to me on a plate altho i wasn't sure if he'd be able to keep up after 60mph mark i was also wondering if i would beat him after that point but he chickened out the chicken shit ...

Those sort of cars are too big anywayz

Preludes are faster than the gsr's bout the same with a 5spd 3KGT, and faster than an Si. The 96 base 3000's have 160 HP (I believe) but b4 they still had 222.

Wait wait wait...Am I reading it correctly that you're saying a Prelude is about as fast as a 3000GT? Maybe one of the SL model's, but those don't really count. A Vr-4 will absolutely destroy a Prelude. Mid 13s stock, al day. GSR's are faster than SIs, Preludes are faster than GSRs, and Vr-4s will murder them all.

3000gt's all had 222 hp for the sl model

er...u have a bit more than I/E, those tweaks must be somethin, because the SI's, aren't too impressive. those GSR's u race stock? because i kno w/ my limited mod's i can beat one w/ I/E, any day. im not sayin i'd beat ur car, simply because i dont kno wut those "tweaks" are, but if u have I/E only, then u've been winning because the others didn't kno how to drive. im not flamin u, jus tough to believe w/ out poor driving.

as for the original race...nice kills all the way around. if only the CL was a type-S. then u'd have been in some trouble ;) . those are...well in a word "quick." good kills tho, keep up the work, jus watch out for ppl w/ cars that are actually mod'd.
