4.9L mustangs are slow as ass on the highway!!!

that mustang isn't meant for top end. it has 300 lbs of torque and has a low red line. race him in the 1/4 mile and find out how he does on low end.

If he is at 135mph and ahead of you and hits the brakes. I think he had you and you just did a ricer fly-by at best.

BUT THE INTAKE!!!! 20 HP BOX SAYS SO!!!

Sorry man I just dont see a Prelude pulling on a V8 Mustang anywhere. It would be one thing if you were talking about an early 80's or 70's Mustang but you're giving me the impression this was around an 87+ Mustang.

I have seen stock Preludes pull high-14's ('92-'95 DOHC VTEC), and near-stock '99+ GTs run mid-15's at the hot-ass tracks here in AZ. We all know that the '99+ GTs are the fastest of the bunch.

Not flaming or anything, I also raced a mildly-modded Fox-body on the freeway when I had my 1990 Integra with a b16 (guesstimated power: 200HP). After 120 or so, it just seemed like he hit a wall and I'd pull at least 3 cars on him. No, Fox-bodies were NOT governed.

Think about this:

1994 Prelude VTEC
Curb Weight: 2850lbs
Horsepower: 190
Pounds-per-HP Ratio: 15.0:1

1994 Mustang GT
Curb Weight: 3400lbs
Horsepower: 215
Pounds-per-HP Ratio: 15.8:1

I understand that there is a reason the Mustang is called a "Pony car", but when I hear "Sorry man I just dont see a Prelude pulling on a V8 Mustang anywhere.", I can't help but think that that is coming from inexperience with the vehicles being discussed.

Basically, YES a Prelude can pull on a Mustang SOMEWHERE.

I'm a ford man, and a fan of muscle in all its forms...but preludes are a match for 74-97 stangs no problem in my eyes

Look my prelude has taken all years of mustang yeah there quick in the quarter mile. BIG DEAL. Im just sayin the rice rocket doesnt need all those cylinders to be quick it just is. because my car is more fuel efficient than your gas guzzler ill be passing your "stang" at the gas station. thats probably why the guy slowed down he had to stop for gas!my little 2.2 will whip your 4.9 or 4.6 or 5.0, or whatever BIG number you need to think your cool,cars butt. hats off to those japanese engineers they put you big block boys in the rearview mirror

Please nobody pay attention to the shit talker.

Boy, for every Prelude that wins, 500 lose, so don't EVEN.

Unless coming from the prelude owner....who is still undefeated. Even if the race has to go to 130 mph when the mustang quit pulling at 80 and had claimed victory.

Wow 190hp I always thought Preludes were weaker then that.

You're right. Facts don't lie - you do.

Only the DOHC VTEC ones of the 1992-1995 variety. All the 1997 and above ones have the same motor (no other motor options in the U.S.), but with 195-200HP.

But you are (talking shit). That's usually what comes out when you talk out of your ass.




All you're doing is propagating a possible flame war. I'm not having it. Let's just leave it at, "your car has its strengths and weaknesses, just like ANY other car".

I've seen and done many things in my 20 years, but for some reason, the picture in atrain's post is hillariously disturbing.
