Just was curious as to my chances at taking a 97 Prelude SH. My car's completely stock as you can see below. I know if his was stock I'd definitely take him on a straight away, but what mods would he have to have to take me? Just curious.

NOS or a turbo. Otherwise, you will pound him.

 

His is a 5-speed manual so I was thinking he'd be pretty close..

 

I raced a 5sp Prelude SH with exhuast and headers, when I was stock with 2 other people in my car. We ran from a stop and I ran even with him til 80 then shut it down. It should be a close race, but you should win.

 

4 cyclinder v 6....no match.

 

1st Gen CLs would lose stock for stock.

v6 isn't everything.

 

actually, ive seen preludes that run low 14s with just BPUs.

 

my friend has an electric blue SH, they're quick cars, but no fucking match at all, you have nothing to worry about

 

What does BPU stand for?

 

basic part upgrades.. ie. bolt-ons

 

er right hehehe Sorry. I was refering to the 3.2lv6.

 

I'd still put my money on the Prelude if it ran the 3.2 P.

 

basic performance upgrades

 

i ran my friend's SS lude with shortram and exasut...i killed his ass...i donno about the stick tho is it that much faster?

 

That's quite a dangerous statement to make....

i know what you meant though

I have SS Prelude. The 5 speed is about .7 faster in the quarter. I ran a 15.1 in SS mode & I only have an AEM CAI. You can't touch the SH in the twisties, straight line it will run a 14.2-14.5.

 

14.2 - 14.5??? i hope you are talking about 1/8 mile.... i have never seen a stock prelude run anything under a 15.5.... and you are talking about a 14.2!!! you must be high- 200hp, 156 ft-lbs, 2954 lbs!!.... 14.2 with some MAJOR mods MAYBE but no way with just CAI... i have a very hard time believing you ran a 15.1 with just a cai. However I would very much like to be shown differently with a timeslip, if you have one...

 

well....i kno preludes are quick cars but 15.1 seems a bit too fast?did u get that number at a track ? I beat my friend's SS with bolt-ons pretty easily, my car is a cl-p and it was stock when i raced him.

 

I had a SH type Prelude 1999 Crystal Metalic blue I also have my time slip from the track if anyone is interested. There is noway it can run a 14 anything stock!!! I ran a best time of 15.3 @90 mph on a 1/4 tanks of gas and a guy with a 97 prelude non SH in the other lane ran 15.6, He had exhaust and Intake.

 

hey shawn race him already would ya... then when you've spanked him, you can come over and I'll wipe that smile off your face

 

.. and what do the 01 CLS' do the 1/4's in stock?

 

been real busy Steve.. haven't had a chance.. maybe within the next month or so I'll run him..

 

14.8 is a fair estimate

 

As a 5spd Prelude owner, let me say.......a CL-S (especially a 6spd) would blow the doors off of a stock 5spd Prelude (SH or base). Ofcourse, modded, it varies. I ran a 14.43 with i/h/e/vafc, but thats about as good as it gets with bolt ons for a Lude. Ofcourse a supercharger (tuned) will put us in the high 13s. But.....if the road has curves, that SH (due to superior handling and ATTS) will blow the doors off any CL-S.
