Acura TL-S vs. Honda Prelude

It was around 6pm tonight when i was on my way over to a friends house for dinner after work. he was following behind me in his E36 M3 and we were on our way to his home which is about 10 minutes away from work. Then suddenly this blue honda prelude pulls up next to me and gives me that you wanna race look. my friend behind me give me a call and is like i think that dude wants to race ya and i say think so and hang up the phone and turn off my vsa. waiting for the light to turn green as the prelude is rocking back and forth in his 5 speed. as soon as the light turns green we both peel out and take off from the beginning i have a half car length of a lead and start to creep up and up in front but had to stop cause of a red light. i thought my car would just smoke him but really i didnt i won but just by a half car length. ne ways the driver gives his and so do i and we go on our way. just wanted to share my story.

The preludes are as fast as the RSX-S..but slightly heavier..which makes it a lil slower. I raced one bone stock in my bro's RSX-S from 60-120 and he ended up about half a car back. He must've been modded w/ ther vtec model because those things should not be able to hang with you unless you spun like crazy at the start. But I give props to the Vtec preludes..those are nice cars.
