a guy in a new prelude with the vtec engine and a cai raced me today on a back road from a stop and i had a full cars length on him at 70mph i drive a 97 2.2cl

 

You spraying or is he a bad driver?

 

he had an automatic and i have a header hollowed out cat and a cat back system

 

yea...auto preludes = :ghey:

 

 

uh oh....he pulled the BS flag...gentlemen...start your engines

 

stock prelude auto = 0-60 in 7.7 1/4 in 15.5
stock CL auto = 0-60 in 8.9 1/4 in 16.7

 

i have a 5sp

 

ok 0-60 in 8.7

 

with full exhaust system and header

 

ok 8.5

 

only .2 seconds for 35 hp somethin doesnt add up

 

full exhaust + header does not equal 35 HP. ESPECIALLY on a f22/23

 

how much then?

 

id say 5-10 full exhaust 10 for the headers

20HP at the most

stock prelude is 195 hp

145 + 20=165

:CONFUSED:

 

all i know is i beat him

 

Don't forget the prelude is lighter too.

 

yeah and it has more torque

 

so explain to me y i won

 

Who ever said you won? We've been calling bullshit from the start.

Or maybe the prelude is broke.

 

but its the truth

 

maybe he left it in D2 ???

I believe you

 

Then the prelude = broke.

 

i guess so i didnt think i was gonna win before i raced him

 

that or he was racing you with 2 flat tires and his fat girlfriend next to him

 

maybe he was haulin 20 kilos of cocaine

 

LOL... did he look nervous?

 

wow you really got them to get their teeth into you on this thread, i mean its like you asked about altezza's. hehe

 

 

oo and you siad the lude had cai. are you sure he was racing?

 

Either altezza or blue washer lights...

 

guys, it's totally possible, esp. if he didn't get on it at the right moment etc. I've seen plenty of faster cars lose to slower ones w/ even bigger odds. This is totally possible.

 

So he won cause the other person chased too late.

To me...thats not winning.

 

we had somebody count down and i still beat him i dont know how seeing how u people say its not possible but i won he had me in the bottom end but on top end i won

 

You said you only raced to 70...Thats hardly past 0-60. And we've already posted 0-60 differences. Plus he's an auto...Its not like he can mess up.

 

is it possible for him to have the same engine as me?

 

no, no one in their right mind would swap an f series into a prelude, so unless you have done an h22 swap there is no way. even if you did have the h22 swap the cl is heavy as a mofo.

 

so i guess the kid sucked at driving

 

i've beat 2 ls1 camaros while on the bottle, now I know my car's not a mid to low 13 second car but sometimes shit happens. That's extreme, their are way to many things that could make cars this slow and yet still close together in time still to have it go either way.

w/ these 2 cars which ever one really gets on it first is going to get a good go at it

 

eh...whatever. i bet i could beat a auto prelude, or at least come pretty close. it's a drivers race imo. if the lude was stick, then it would be a different story. preludes surprisingly arent that fast.
