BM is the best, been watching/reading them for 6 years (before most people online even knew who they were).

been watching wrestling on TV for more than 6 years.. no doubt theyre fake ..but i like Trish Stratus.shes my favorite..


Just like this car racing video..no doubt its fake..hard to believe prelude can beat the S2000.

I find a comparison between this and wrestling a bit unsettling. I don't think the people who are crying about this video being fake have actually downloaded the thing. The JUN Prelude ranked almost near bottom overall, despite its second best time.

Certainly if "JUN Productions" had made the video (lol) they would not have made major complaints about the JUN Prelude's springs being too hard over bumps. Or the fact that the Euro R tranny's third gear ratio is too long. Most of the praise was being given to the S2Ks, and the only reason they even let the Prelude run against the S2000 was because of its time.

There's nothing fake about it. Ever hear of the SpeedWorld Challenge. They have classes where SRT-4's battle against Cadillacs, Cameros, Mustangs, BMW's etc. and they do quite well. Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive cars are often put in the same class and are very competitive with each other. Besides, if you payed attention you would have noticed that the Prelude was making more power than the S2000 anyway. And they're already lighter than the S2000.

Yeah I believed you man.
Right now I am trying to make video to show that my 1st gen prelude can beat NSX.

That video obviously isn't fake - anyone with any real experience driving and modifying cars can see that.

what matters other than times when it comes to performance testing? besides, when the JUN Lude made its reapperance, it once again, clocked the best times. i see your point but its like criticizing a car for not having a cup-holder when the purpose of the test is the best times. the suspension was harder because it wasnt adjusted for downhill courses, but was kept at the course sector settings. and considering that nothing was done to lighten the car was the biggest problem for preludes, i think it did damn good for them to have to bring out the Amuse S2K because that is their top car in the class.

You're right, I found it outrageous that the JUN Prelude was ranked almost second to last. Even with those complaints, the lap time should have meant at least *something*. The hard suspension was probably what killed the streetability rating the first time.
