i've mentioned this car before on here, it's a 95ish red prelude that was lowered and had a nice looking body kit and konig rims, he's completely debadged except for a black honda emblem on the hood, no other badges,stickers etc....

well anyway i talked to the kid last weekend in a parking lot he said he had a swap and a few other things :) so anyway i'm out cruising tonight with a few friends and i see him at the local sonic, so just for fun i pull through and park next to him, we say what's up and stuff and then get to talking a little bit about cars he was asking me some stuff about DSM's... well anyway we both left sonic at the same time and immediately a Chevy Malibu starts messin with him lol.... they caught a stop light, i was right behind him, it turns to green and he blips the gas to catch traction and when he hooks up he was gone...they only went to about 60 and he was a good 6 or so car lengths ahead lol..... so i catch up to him and he's laughing his ass off hahaha.... i throw a few revs at him just for fun and he's like you wanna run em??? and i was like sure what the hell so i follow onto the interstate and he slows to about 45 (there's like no traffic) so he yells over at me to go on his third honk, i'm in 3rd gear right now (i've found that if downshift from third to second without letting off the gas i pull alot harder than if i just punch it in second) so he honks three times and i downshift, tires chirp and im pullin hard, he's right beside all the way through second, i'm at redline so i shift into third, without letting off the gas again (i'm getting pretty good) the rpms jump to around 7500 rpm during the shift and when i finally hit third the tires chirp again and i'm pullin hard... i can hear his VTEC screamin and when he shifts i see fire out of his exhaust just a small whitish orange flame, he's pullin really hard, he puts about 6 or 7 car lengths on me till about 100mph... we pulled over and talked about our cars for a while, he's a really cool guy...he showed me a few FWD power slides too lol...it was cool...i love seeing that lude in action man... it just looks so good....

i was really impressed with my TSi tonight i actually almost hung with him for a while....

haha he didn't wanna go from a stop :)

but even with the awd advantage i think he would have still ran me down if we went to 100mph or so...i know i aint gonna get no 7 car jump off the line :)

what gets me is the way that car looked and sounded in action man....it was a beast.... when that VTEC would scream it looked almost like a downshift, his front end would raise up and he would pull like a mutha!
 
it was a probably a high 14 second prelude.. it's not unheard of.. :rolleyes: I know plenty of mid to high 14 sec preludes..

Great race. Race him again once you start getting really modded. :)
 
If the Prelude won by that much, it's obviously faster than a 15-second car. Some of you are so anti-Honda it's sick. I hope you run into a completely worked Honda that will blow the doors off of your 'insanely-fast' 14-second DSM. Let me already guess the response, 'Oh yeah well you spent so much more then I did.' :rolleyes:
 
Who chirped 3rd, you did or he did? Couldn't have been you. And true, what did he swap in his car? A 1.6?

You need to give more detail about his mods to justify your loss. I remember putting about 5 cars on a Prelude with 14psi on my T25. THey are pigs.

You lost to 15-second honda. Wow.
Where exactly did he say he raced a 15 second honda? I must have missed that. :rolleyes: *Note to all* Honda's can be made to run fast pretty easy. Maybe not 10's, but fast enough to put 7 car lengths on a mostly stock DSM.

Blunt, I agree 100%.
 
Preludes get swaps too.. :rolleyes: Some get the H22a swap..
 
don't they already have the H22A?
 
I don't think the 4th gen had the h22a.. I think maybe the h16.. *shrugs* I don't even know much about cars.. lol
 
yea, that's the h22a I meant.. forgot to put JDM.. I think it has more potential.. *shrugs*
 
The top of the food chain VTEC Prelude ran 15.0 stock ONCE with a super excellent driver.

According to the initial post all it had was intake, exaust and a bodykit. And probably a shitload of stereo equipment for that much needed weight balance :rolleyes:. Whopise fucking do.
 
why do you hate so much.. damn man..
