i dont post too much, just look for information, but i thought this story was worth posting. It happened about 2 months ago. Im just posting it now cuase i was talking about it eariler today. Anway i drive a black 96vtec, with a couple small mods, but one night i was at a gas station filling up, closed up the gas door and went inside to get a pac of cigs, as i walk out i am facing the road, 2 lane going each way, if anyone from around baltimore is reading it was bel air rd, pretty busy road usually but this was somewhere between like 12 and 1am, anyway as im facing the road i notice a white 4th gen prelude goin down the road, there wasnt hardly any traffic at all. A couple seconds went by i was in my car and my friend that was with me is like"yo u see that nice ass blue prelude that just drove by?" as im pulling out of the gas station we were talking and i said yea i saw it but it wasnt blue it was white, and he thought i was crazy but i saw a white prelude, he said he saw a blue one. Anyway only about 10-15 seconds went by after i saw that white prelude and he said he saw a blue one, so i was on the road going the same way as i saw the white one go. as i go over this hill and start coming bac down there is a traffic light at the bottom, and sure enough there was the blue prelude he was talkin about and the white one i saw lined up at a light, i tried to catch up before the light turned green but it changed before i could. I knew as soon as they took off they were both going at it, both of them pulled off quick as ****. My goal was to catch up and come out of nowhere and smoke both of em, well i was only about maybe 50yards behind them when the light turned green. After about a quater mile or so, going over a bridge over the beltway the blue one started pulling off from the white one, at the same time i just caught up and was riding the blus ones ass, and as soon as i had enough room, i jerked the wheel to the left and got in front of the white prelude. I know this guy was wondering where the hell i came from cause niether one of em saw me coming. i put the gas pedal to the ground, were doing prolly about 110 give or take and i was in the left lane and the blue one was in the right, car was in my lane ahead so i had to change lanes again and get behind the blue one, behind him for about 5 seconds, and out of nowhere he slams on his brakes cause a car pulled in his lane, i came about inches from slamming into the bac of him and then went bac to the left lane. We both got through the traffic and then i pulled in front of him about another quarter mile down the road, doin about 120 right through 2 busy ass intersections and also passing a police station right on the left, not cool. Anyway i just thought that is was kinda cool, 3 different forth gen prelude racing down the road, and it was fun as **** tryin to catch up to em and burn both of em. i know i will never see that again. Got lucky i didnt get pulled over though
both of them were forth gen preludes, i know for a fact that the white one wasnt a vtec cause i blew by that one pretty quick, it had alot of small **** done to the outside, but im sure the blue one was runnin a vtec cause i had trouble catchin up to him, until he slammed on his brakes and i almost hit em, ill definitely admit that it was a fun race, not everyday u get to run ur forth gen against 2 other ones, thats not setup or anything, i was just in the right place at the right time

Woah hold on there big guy. I've kept up with VTEC 'ludes running mods comprable to mine many a time. H23s shouldn't be underated, just apreciated. Like it or not you may have had trouble keeping up with an Si!

If it was a Blue 4th gen, then it was at most an Si, unless it had a swap.
