Much of the weight in a 4th gen comes from sound deadening material. Alot of it also comes from the luxuries we have in our cars: ABS, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Moonroofs, A/C, power everything. If you really wanted an all out Prelude you can choose to remove these things, but I certainly wouldn't.
My only complaint is that alot of weight is in the front, causing tenacious understeer. |
one of the main reasons why I wish i still owned a 4th
