I'd believe it. I had the last gen. prelude beat me at the track in times. He pulled off a 13.99x and best I could get was 14.43x.

The guy was also like 3 feet tall, don't know if that has much to do with the weight

makes sense actually the power to weight ratio combined with the fact that the 'lude has a manual makes the 'lude win the first two times without a problem. In the second one you saw the CL-S hang a little better because both cars were in motion. Either way nice car!

He had to have been spraying.. I raced a friend of mine in my Stock CL-S who had a 2000 prelude with headers, intake, and exhaust and it wasn't even that close. I was ahead by 30mph.

Nope, the prelude is NA. LC is a good driver and as you can tell he launches his car HARD.

Wow... i'm very impressed.
Is the driver of the CL-S on this forum?

I guess those are the differences b/w manual and automatic. my friend has a 2000 prelude auto with DC headers, AEM CAI, and tanabe exhaust... and he has never beaten me before... from a standing start or freeway. And i have a (engine) stock CL-P too! He kicks my ass on turns though.

The person who we are talking about that was spraying is in IL. Dyno_CLS was not spraying.

The prelude that Damaged(M3Sins) raced was a 2nd gen vtec. It had I/H/E pulleys.

the prelude in question only has I/E...no headers which add between 12-15 hp on the prelude.

Which track did this happen at? I've never seen or heard about a prelude run 13s with just I/E. Was he using slicks?
