The SH is cool just because it is an SH. They are alot harder to work on and they aren't really worth the extra money. I think they have a short gear ratio which is better but the transmission is harder to work on if you wanted to replace a clutch or if something went wrong and broke you would spend a lot more money fixing the SH. If you got the time and money go with the SH, but i wouldn"t.:smoker2:

The Type SH has the ATTS (active torque transfer system) which is cool for accelerating around turns. It weighs more than the base model and has the same horsepower (H22A @ 195-200hp). So in theory, the base model (both in 5speed) is quicker. The Type S is a JDM prelude which has a 220hp version of the H22.
