Got spanked by a Prelude.

Ok, now I want a damn supercharger.

Rollin home on the usual route in the '99 SSM, a not-so-stock Prelude wanted to play. Ok, whatever.

First run we wernt sure we got the "messages" so he took off a little, then i punched it, and i took him. Bad start for both of us.

Second run, he screwed up shifting and got a horrible start.

Third run, he smoked me. full car length by 70 MPH. He had a coffie can on the back and Intake, thats all i could tell. god knows what else he did to it. I had TCS and the A/C off, but i just filled gas, and i had the subs and 2 computers in the trunk, so that wasnt helping.

That's it, im calling Comptech. Wheres my check book? Oh right, I'm broke. Sh!t.

lol a modded prelude w/ manual will take a TL anyday. I've said it once and i'll say it again: Manual trannies are a LOT more efficient than automatic trannies. You're prolly putting down about the same amount of hp as him, but you weight like 600 pounds more

not reallie...TL-S can spank them!!

my friend drives a stock RSX-S and her brother drives a heavily moded prelude...

her RSX-S stock beats the heavily moded lude...
and RSX-S is a bit slower than the TL-S

which means TL-S > RSX-S > prelude.....=)
but now her brother got an intergra type R now...so...haha...will spank the TL-S for sure!!

Yeah, i ran a prelude "Sh" once, on the freeway, He was my friend we going 130 is when i pulled him. I beat him by a car lenght But then again all he had was an intake, so after mods i don't know he might have been able to win me by a car lenth.
I can't wait till i get my integra all juiced up. Because i know a integra manual running with a type s is a potential, the integra with the turbo will win, against a stock type S.

What do you call a heavily modded Prelude, because stock for stock a RSX-S is not that much faster than a manual 93-01 Prelude at all. A heavily modded lude should walk a stock RSX-S. A RSX-s should give a TLS a good run if driven well!

a type sh is no faster than a regular lude. and a stock integ type r can't beat a tl-s, don't even question it. and as far as the lude is concerned in general, it's stupid because for a grand more you can have a tl...

Heh, SH is actually SLOWER in a straight line. Why? It has ATTS active torque transfer system..which adds about 300 pounds to the car. What it does is allow you to corner much better..it tranfers torque to the outside wheels
