V6 Camaros no threat

just thought i'd let you know that if some dumb friend thinks his car is faster than yours cuz you have a honda with a 4 banger and he has a v6 domestic, he doesn't know squat. my friend continued his dumb thinking even though his was freaking automatic. 6 out of 7 times he got killed. i think he learned. :-D

Re: V6 Camaros no threat

ummm buddy, wat year is his camaro? and are you a stick shft? the old V6 was like 125hp, so it doesnt take any brains to figure out that a prelude is faster. a new V6 is 225 and 240 lb ft of torque, i doubt a prelude would beat that.

Re: V6 Camaros no threat

Um guys... My friend's fairly stock Civic EX is about dead even with a late model manual V6 Camaro. Maybe even a hair faster. Their performance is about as lively as a Ford SUV. The only thing Preluders need to watch out for are the current model Z28's. Older models (Camaro, or alot of other stock oldschool pony/muscle car) should pose no problem at all, especially for an h22a Prelude. Hell, even a Shelby GT500 Cobra with a 428 block is only capable of a 15 second quarter run. Big engines don't always equate to big performance.

Way to show him that Hondas can spank, too, by the way. What happened on the 7th run, felt sorry?

Re: V6 Camaros no threat

Re: V6 Camaros no threat

Yeah the power to weight ratio on a vtec prelude is way better than a V6 camaro, they're no problem. Oddly enough, I was following a 4th gen Z28, who was following my friend in his S4. He tried to pass my friend and obviously came no where near doing it, but I was on his ass the whole time, he couldn't pull away. Either stock V8's have nothing over 80 MPH, or the kid just couldn't drive.

Even the non-vtec prelude would beat it, actually.
