where would i post questions or comments about different cars i would race and what everyones opinion on the outcome would be?

example: do you guys think i could beat a first generation honda prelude si?

[jackal2000]

why does it matter?

[FutureEcotecOwnerAgain]

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

[jackal2000]

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?:

[FutureEcotecOwnerAgain]

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]

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?

[cutelilcntrygrl]

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.

[smokinAMD]

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

[Daytona]

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.

[Redog]

Like everybody is saying it depends.

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.

[FutureEcotecOwnerAgain]

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]

check this (http://www.welovehondas.com/prelude.htm) out


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

[FutureEcotecOwnerAgain]

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]

a 10.2? :lol: :lol: :lol: im pretty sure your car should be in the 9's

[FutureEcotecOwnerAgain]

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

[jackal2000]

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

[FutureEcotecOwnerAgain]

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.

[jackal2000]

look around this section for times posted by someone with your motor

Not sure about the sunfire, BTW - it isn't SOHC at all, it is pushrod. Made 115HP new, so with those mods would be up a bit, but not as much power as you. He also has a far lighter car, and the 5-Speed. I am voting for him winning by a little bit.....it would be close.

And I have a 2 dr alero with catback and CAI and5-speed. I get 9.8-9.9 1/8 miles usually, got one 9.7 once, these are all at 1/4 mile tracks though.

[FutureEcotecOwnerAgain]

But the horsepower is still a big difference and the torque is even bigger of a difference. his car weighs about 400 lbs lighter. well if he does get me i'll be able to get him after my full cat back and intake.
