99 lude vs 92 ls400

5speed 99 lude vs auto 92 ls400 think i can win? my friend wanted to race me but im not sure i can beat a 250hp v8... any comments? any chance?

i say you have a chance.

are ya sure??? its against a v8 tho...

oh wow v8 that doesn't mean shit. i smoked v8s before. that car is nearly 4000lbs and not built for racing.

A 250 hp v8 isn't better than a 200 hp i4 when you consider the weight of the engines.
Now consider the weight of the cars:

LS400=3700lbs
Prelude=2900lbs

Also, the LS is an auto, geared for comfort, luxury and hauling the family around.
Get a good launch, keep the revs up between shifts, then walk him to the finish line.

very well put.

yea i guess the weight diff and the auto would make it easier for me.thanks

weight is part but his torque might take you a little off the line but in the 1320 you should come back in the end
