beat a Prelude

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

I raced a prelude with a Volvo T5

we got to the lights ahead of the traffic so i Revved at him

It took ages before the light went green but i got a marginally better start launching at 2000rpm. His tires Squealled and we were off..

I was beating him before i got up to 3600rpm when he started gaining on me but then...... :flash:

..... the Turbo kicked in at 4000rpm :hehehe: and i was off he might aswell have walked but nothing was going to make a difference o and i had an Extra passenger and a Trunk full of stuff :smoker: all in all i had a smile on my face

I'll give ya a call when i get turbo charged!!:hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Bully.

Alright it hard for me to say it but good job........ but I bet you bring your Volvo this way and I'll be able to post a story about me getting a kill against a volvo:smoker2:

What a great sales pitch for Volvo if you would've lost. The turbo-charged (larger-engined) T5 couldn't even beat a stock prelude.

Hehe, good kill. I have never raced a volvo before.

Just curious, but what trim of prelude was it. If it was an S model then I take back the "good" part :licker:

you think i can't beat a prelude ? I'm not sure if i quite understand RiceRocketeer ?

The T5 is a five cylinder turbo with 236hp mines has factory sport springs and bridgestone S02's on it ...... I know it can beat a prelude cuz i just done that .... I know it can beat a Celica GTS ..... I know i can beat V6 Camaros and i also beat an Impala (the ones with 212hp) that put up a better fight for all the seconds that the turbo hadn't spooled up
.... I beat 4 maximas including the new one..... and a Merc C320

and i played around with a Supra TT on a rolling start from about 35 at which point 75mph he handed me my ass

[SickLude]

is that your volvo? i thought you drove a NSX? ah well, i guess if you can afford an NSX, you can afford another drive around car huh?

also, what year Lude was it?

oh, and nice job...people forget to say that from time to time

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

well ok i admit it was only a 95 i felt like handing him his ass i already beaten three of those and an MX6 not like that was a challenge

nah i dun drive an NSX thats the lisence plate i use on TOK2 i wanted to change it to SilviaSpecR but i can't get my password to work and the email i entered in was wrong so i'm buggered

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

have i raced a 01 prelude i have no clue i think i have then again i'm not entirely sure ok well that means i have to go find one.

But i test drove a Prelude 00 and a 98 it wasn't nearly as fast


they made lots of noise (one had a cheap exhaust) the other had an engine problem oh did i mention the Engine warning light on my car was on and i can't hear the dump valve EEK i thought it was the aircon .... Now i'm fucked

No, I know you can, that's why I said "if you would've lost." What I'm saying is it's really not a fair race.

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

yea well i want to race a new 2001/2002 model prelude that would be more fun ...

I know a Mustang and a 300ZX driver who won't race me . .... its wierd but the Volvo fits right in the middle of V8 and V6 if you look at Camaros it'll keep up with the V8 and trounce the V6 but it'll never beat the V8 stock so it sits in limbo thats why i need a new car

[PTOWNPRELUDE]

What are you talking about that the new 2000 and 2001's are faster than say a 97. 98? They both have the same horsepower, same curb weights. Get your facts straight man, there is really no difference. Oh and I forgot anyway that Volvos were cool or something? I mean what do old men drive those or do grandmas? Well I'm sayin' I don't care what you say, bring your Volvo drivin' ass over here to Atlanta and let me see what you got.

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

yea yea yea tell me another one you jackass ... don't flame anyone without good reason you're just pissed cuz a Volvo beat a prelude? Do i really care noooo.... look i like preludes ok ? I'd make sure if i bought one it can at least out run Volvo's T5 - o yea the English police use Volvos for a reason ... they're fast they have the 250hp versions tho and then they upgrade the internals and if you want to race a modified Volvo go to Sweden and kiss my ass .....

[PTOWNPRELUDE]

Lol, alright pal whatever you say. Oh and by the way your list of victories that you have with the Volvo, lol, I could beat v6 camaros in my damn 95 Accord, good job pal. I bet your parents are proud. lol

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.
