v6 accord or prelude

[hondaEX77]

im was looking at purchasing a prelude, but then i was thinkin if i was to get an accord with a v6 the engine has more potential. i dont know very much about the accord, is there a stock accord that has vtec? and are they DOHC or SOHC. if there are could you please tell me the years of car. i want to get a honda with a DOHC engine that is pretty quick. if you guys have any suggestions on what would be a nice car please let me know. thanks

Personally, I would get the Prelude.

It depends upon what year you'r etalking about for the V6 Accord. But here's some specs.

Th 5th gen (94-97) Accord V6 was SOHC NON-Vtec that produced 170hp and only available with an automatic trans. Click Here

The 6th gen (98-02) Accord V6 is a SOHC VTEC that produced 200HP and only available with an automatic trans. Click Here

The 7th gen (03+) Accord V6 is pretty bad ass. (IMO) it's aSOHC I-VTEC that cranks out 240hp and is finally available with a 6sp manual trans.

Starting with the 3rd gen Prelude (93-96) There were 3 available motors

2.2L DOHC NON-VTEC (135hp) "S"
2.3L DOHC NON-VTEC (160hp) "Si"
2.3L DOHC VTEC (190hp) "vtec"

And with the 4th (and Final) gen Prelude (97-01) there were only 2 motors available.

2.2L DOHC VTEC (195hp) "base"
2.2L DOHC VTEC (200hp) "Type SH"
