i think you meant to say 2800 lbs, not 3800.
anyway, yeah, the 4th gen vtecs are the quickest preludes available on this side of the globe. honda stiffened the chassy, lengthened and widened the prelude going into the 5th gens so that's where the added weight comes from. but towards the later years of the 5th gen, the hp creeped up by 10 to 200hp. that helped somewhat, not much. 5th gens do have longer gearing and have better top speed but acceleration-wise, the 4th gen has an advantage.
