jackal2000 · 09-08-2004, 10:58 PM

why does it matter?

09-08-2004, 11:00 PM

i was just wondering and i dont want you guys saying anything if i do.

jackal2000 · 09-08-2004, 11:02 PM

you got me confused now....

you want us to tell you if we think you can beat a certain car but dont want us saying anything if you do?? :huh?:

09-08-2004, 11:04 PM

i would like to know you guys opinions if it wasnt a problem, but i dont want you guys to get mad for me asking or posting that question here.

jackal2000 · 09-08-2004, 11:09 PM

oh ok. well its hard to say really, im sure it will be a mix of good and bad replies, it always is. what all have you done to your car?

It depends on what you've done to your car, as well as what the Prelude has done to it. A friend of mine has one and the only thing he has is a cai and a Greddy exhaust. That thing is super quick.

I'm not familar with preludes, what years were the first gen ones?

The Honda Prelude is the 2nd best selling Honda of all time next to the Accord. They've been around in the US since the 70's.

Like everybody is saying it depends.

a first gen prelude.... quick? you're smoking crack.

Only one way to find out, go to a track and race it. Each car of the same make and model even varies from car to car. I can smoke stock grand am GT's, and I get smoked by stock grand am GT's.

Good call. :thumbsup: There are SO many variables to consider. Mileage, how the car was maintained, abuse, etc etc etc.

i believe its first gen anyway. its an 87 si with a cat back exhaust and custom intake. and i have an 03ecotec with flowmaster muffler. i think i could win.

jackal2000 · 09-09-2004, 10:48 PM

check this out

its a second generation prelude. you should smoke him even if your car was stock. you have about 20 ponies on him.

09-09-2004, 11:02 PM

That is interesting. The guy with the prelude says he runs 10.2 in the 1/8. i've never ran though. theres this other guy with a 2001 sunfire with a 2.2 sohc with full cat and intake, but its a 5 speed. he thinks he can take me too. i'm pretty sure i can take him easily. whats you think?

jackal2000 · 09-09-2004, 11:04 PM

a 10.2?

im pretty sure your car should be in the 9's

09-09-2004, 11:05 PM

in the 9's? i have the ecotec with only a flowmaster muffler. i wish i could run 9's

jackal2000 · 09-09-2004, 11:14 PM

ok on second thought, 9's is a little generous. with a good tailwind you might be able to pull it off though.

09-09-2004, 11:23 PM

i guess i'll never know unless i go to the track. what is usually the speed? i can get up to 70mph in about 10.5 or so.
