honestly, if you're just looking for a drag car. the prelude is NOT the car to get. if it has to be a honda, i reluctantly say you'd be better off with a teg or civic. lighter cars with bigger aftermarket. preludes make for much better street cars, but if you want to get ahead on the dragstrip, the prelude is left in the dust as long as the competitors have modded their civics and tegs enough, which isn't hard to do.

on the other hand, if yo'ure just comparing stock to stock, yeah, a prelude is faster. and you can make preludes smoke tegs and civics, but it'll take more than it would for a teg or civic.
