Re: Newer Prelude VS Thunderbird V8

Ford actually put the limiter in it for a few good reasons. From the factory, the tires werent rated to speeds much above what the limiter was. Plus these cars come with a weak drivetrain. A torque converter that "balooned" when spun at too high of RPM for too long, and a two piece drive shaft that would obliterate at high RPM's for a long time.
