me vs 3rd gen prelude?

d2daj86 · January 22nd, 2008, 12:50 PM

So my friend and I were talking about cars and we got into the debate on who would win in a race. I have a 2003 v6 auto and my only upgrade so far is a CAI (with 12" subs in the back for some added weight) he has a manual 3rd gen prelude with an exhaust and possibly a CAI. What do you guys think?

I don't think you'll have a problem with a 3rd gen ....

d2daj86 · January 22nd, 2008, 01:02 PM

thats what i was thinking, but hes very confident that he could win, he said he would put money on it... so maybe i should do that...

i dont know some of the preludes are fast as hell. A friend has one and that little 4cylinder gets up to 150mph. great acceleration on it

shadow5403 · January 22nd, 2008, 01:09 PM

keep in mind that that the prelude weighs only around 2500lbs AND you have added weight in your car so yur prolly around 3200lbs. plus the preludes have ALOT steeper gears than you.....they got 4.27 final gear ratio. What year 3rd gen? the 90/91 has 140hp. That with power to weight plus higher gears plus you having an auto basically stock.....id say you might lose.

Let us know how you do. My friend has the newest gen, ( i don't know shit about honda's) its like a 98 or something and he wants to race. I'm concerned and i have a v8.. they are pretty quick cars.

shadow5403 · January 22nd, 2008, 01:22 PM

high compresion.... high rpms....

It would be EXTREMELY HARD to twin turbo an s2000....

shadow5403 · January 22nd, 2008, 01:45 PM

single turbo it then

....either way, those engines are very impressive.

Still easier said than done.

d2daj86 · January 22nd, 2008, 01:46 PM

i wish i could even fit in a s2000

Breakout · January 22nd, 2008, 01:47 PM

s2000's have the best power to weight ratio of any car i've seen (excluding exotics)

yeah you have to do so much work to be able to put a turbo on that POS engine, it has no power till 6k rpm then every shift you have to get it back into the power band, s2000= pos give me a turbo k20 civic anyday

and unless he is boosted you should be able to take him
