No. Some of the automatics were rated at 195. But other than that, yes, all 200hp.

if you are not sure....just pop the hood. the valve cover says in big silver letters "DOHC VTEC". From what I have heard the auto/sportshift preludes suck.

Yes, all 5th gen Preludes, regardless of market, were OBDII and had VTEC capabilities.

i heard that the 97-98 had the extra 5 hp, or atleast thats what the people said at honda deelership(i also asked a couple of other places), but it really dont matter because that is at the crank not the wheels i think in the 5 gen preludes have like 170 or 180 something at the wheels

Yes, all 5th gen Preludes, regardless of market, were OBDII and had VTEC capabilities. There was also a 5th gen Prelude with a 2.0l SOHC non-VTEC engine and about 133hp available over here in europe.

yeah here in australia, there is either 5th gen auto or manual vtir whihc is the 195-200 hp and there is a si version which said it has 133 kw. thats around wat, 160 hp. i thought the 5th gen prelude only came with the 195 and over hp.

so when i am lookin for the prelude i have to get the vtir which is vtec 195-200 hp. really i dont care is the tip tronic auto is crap. cause i dont really drag much. i mean mybe just for fun but here in australia, no one really drags much, unless it is an event of scheduled. but yeah, remember, my car is currently a 5th gen civic sedan auto vtec sohc. thats 125hp. when i buy the prelude vtir, that is enormous hp for me. plus, my whole family is auto. so if i buy a manual, that they cant use it. so i dont care

as long as, the 5th gen prelude is vtec, and are over the 195 hp. that all.

but here is the stat of the power from a australian used car site whihc gives the power of the car in kilowatts
97-01 prelude SI is approx. 133kw (approx.160 hp)
97-01 prelude vtir approx. 147 kw (approx.195-200)
what i dont understand, did u guys from USA get the si version.
what do u guys call the 195-200 hp versions. her its vtir.
i will definetly get the vtir auto.
