beat a Prelude

[BoosterSH]

I think you all are missing the fact that the T5 is turbo charged. Honda has yet to manufacture a turbocharged car and i wouldn't put a T5 up against any honda other than the S2000 cause to face reality, thats the only car that stands a chance. A better race would be a T5 vs a WRX. I would be more interested in hearing about that race....

....im not a big fan of 4 door cars simply cause it has "familly" writen all over it. Maybe when i have kids and a wife i will look at them with interest. But i just think if your gonna make a sports car, 2 doors seem more sporty than 4.

But again, thats just my opinion.:bandit:

no it wouldn't be more interesting the turbo on the WRX isn't as big and the weight of it is loads less ... I've test driven one of those too i don't think i could keep up with it -- it also has four wheel drive and better steering

what would my parents have anything to do with this and i don't necessarily think that your 95 accord can beat a V6 Camaro thats being ignorant

i think a t5 will whoop a lightly modded prelude, any year. preludes arent exactly fast cars stock . maybe compared to other hondas. as for volvos not being "cool", im sure hes sorry his cars not "trendy". i guess people should buy whatever car is "in" rather than whatever is faster or better overall. personally id take a t5 anyday over a prelude. nsx u got a cool car in my opinion is it modified?

i think we should race, nsx. battle of the un-trendy imports that can whoop most trendy imports. i think it would be a close race by what u say here.

LOL my point exactly nah the only thing on it are bridgestone S02's and some sport springs. The only complaint is thats it auto. I'm moving back to England in a few months so i'll be getting a change of car.... I dunno what i'll get cuz insurance and petrol is expensive

i dont doubt that a 95 accord could beat some of the earlier 3.4l camaros. My friend beat me in my brothers 95 v6 in his 1990 gs auto teg

as for four doors being family cars, wait till i get my S4and a turbo upgrade lol

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

S4 u driven one of those too

The turbos are small and it is smooth and quick - not quite as good as the WRX in my opinion

I can pull out races with them pretty consistantly now but I am about 100LBS lighter than the 95 prelude is from 2885 to my 2760 as the car sits. I get this one who finds me a few times a month going west after work at night, I live in lawyerville south Florida. He does not hit gears hard either but pulls so good a fraction of a second before second cam kicks in on mine. We play around light to light on the way home and really has never beaten me right unless he got a good jump at the light.

I know the tweener feeling being able to beat the 4.6L mustang GTs but can't yet get close enough to the older and newer version of those models. The volvo could take those with a stick and an agressive shifter, I think.:frog:

First props for the win and sorry I forgot that they are quick and a nice car for a four door. Me being 37 I will look for a sporty SUV but that is just me. Volvos are classy and now have muslce too.

So lets say you raced a WRX and got ya ass handed to ya, does that make your T5 slow? No. Last friday at the track this dude in a WRX raced a GSR with a JR SuperCharger. The GSR toar him a new ass hole. I never said the WRX was slow, its just the sometimes the tables turn around when you both are using force induction.

I guess what im trying to say is that the T5 is gonna have the advantage over many cars that arent turbo charged. But put it with a group of WRX's, RX-7s or GS-Ts and things just might be different!

Damn im wise.:bandit:

[kidrocket]

nsx a stock s4 would hand a stock wrx its ass. and its nice as hell inside

yes it is more expensive

i think it looks a shitload better too but to each his own right?

You guys must really like to argue or something, cause this sure isn't worth arguing over. The guy says he beat a prelude, why is that so hard to believe. Your "almight" preludes aren't the fastest cars on the block, get over it. A 15.5 sec pass in the quarter is peppy for a 4- cylinder, but that ain't exactly fast.

I dont think im the "All-mighty Prelude", there are plenty of cars that could spank my ass. But i just dont see why people make big deals when they beat a car they are expected to beat. Thats like me saying "Hell yeah! I beat a Metro!!" Im not taking anything away from NSX, hell more power to ya. But dont you think its more exciting to hear the guy driving the Prelude say "I beat a WRX today."?

Oh, with better lauches i could problably run 15.2.

whoever was in the wrx needs to learn to drive...

Eclipse GST's are slower i know for a fact I can beat them and as for the WRX it weights more than 500lbs less than a volvo and still has 224hp he also has better traction.


RX7's have 280hp but it also has rotary's it is also more than 500lbs less in weight .. Now if i took the engine out and put it into the S40 then i'd be able to take out that WRX.


i could beat an older RX7 i dunno about a newer one .... I prolly could beat a mustang if i was an aggressive shifter ..

The only problem with racing a WRX is that the greatest Acceleration only occurs when the turbo spools up since the turbo is bigger it would take longer .

Rolling start i might take him :flash:

only problem is that the gearing is to tall and the car weights too much ...

I've raced a Supra TT before and kept up to around 75 where his car kept accelerating at a constant rate whilst mine just died off

[LjasonL]

yeah, eclipse gsts arent all that fast.

funny how u wanna race people from a rolling start. im the exact opposite, i gotta race from a standstill. if im racing from a roll i gott be racing something really slow like an accord or non turbo eclipse.
