My best race was with a 4th gen Prelude...

I was on my way home from work crusin about 55 in a 45 zone in either 4th or 5th gear... I dont remember which...

This white 'Lude comes up in the right lane makin all kinds of noise with his loud ass exhaust... I dropped a gear and gave it some gas so he would know I was interested...

We both floored it, and we hung about even... We stopped at a redlight ahead and went for it again once the light turned green... I hung with him till he shifted to 3rd, where he pulled ahead a bit...

We kept going at it up this long ass hill... we hit about 90 (in a 45 zone :P) When I saw a red light ahead... I hit the brakes and slowed down way in advance... the Prelude kept going and had to lock up his brakes to stop... he skidded to a stop halfway into the intersection and had to turn around... I just sat at the redlight and laughed...

It boosted my confidence a bit to know I hung with a Prelude with at least an exhaust (I saw some digital thingy above his radio at the stoplight... maybe it was one of those vtec controllers or somethin)'
