It is lacking in the low end torgue, but still, who cares? Just rev it up! The rsx has a new system to solve it, called VTC, or variable timing control, which alters the timing od the intake crankshaft. It's very possible that they will incorporate that into the redesigned 2002 prelude.

you know what.........i was reading about that verboom
and i got a little baffled. R&T talked about the RSX and went on about the new engine that it has. What confused me was the designated names: i-VTEC and VTC. I'm just wondering name i should use. |

The engine's name is the i-VTEC, but it has the VTC feature. Calling it the VTC would be like naming your car by the tranny. VTC is just another feature. Got it? Hope that helps.

I've heard nothing about a 2002 prelude. Did they decide to bring it back to the line? I heard that 2001 was the last year for the lude.

Phily, congradulations on your choice for the prelude. I was fixated on the lude for prolly about a year. I dunno what made me switch, but I'm in love with the E36 M3 now. Prelude will be very reliable. You could prolly find a 98 or 99 with 23-30 K milesfor 20 K or under in good condition. That way you could have more money for mods. Just a thought.

Also, if you buy used, you'll miss out on the largest depreciation bracket. New or used, it's a good car.

I heard exactly that:
the prelude will sell till the end year of 2001, and whatever preludes they have left over the following year. I feel very very sad and disappointed. I was expecting that Honda would offer more engine upgrades later on with the already good chassis, but apparently the RSX is supposed to be the prelude (and integra) replacement!!!! |

actually i found out that the RSX just replaces the integra..... I think they're going to keep producing the Prelude, but they're redesigning it
