Yeah. It's best you don't race me or you'll just get smoke. My car is awesome just like me.

i asked my mom to race.. she thinks as long as it's from a rolling start, she can kick the prelude's butt

otherwise turbo lag will own her.. then my dad explained to her how to get over it.. so we shall see if she'll want to do it next weekend. hehe

My roommate is on www.SwedeSpeed.com

A lot of the people there dont even care about your questions/comments unless you have a Turbo. My roommate always gets these jerk responses to his posts.

I laughed because you make funny comments, about being cool and never loosing in this civic shown in your sig pic.

I shook my finger because I don't have anything to proove, so I don't really feel the need to race.

I do enjoy watching people race, and knowing the potential of any vehicle, but I assure you my prelude is just for daily driving and commuting purposes.

A chipped high pressure turbo can run 14 seconds flat without much trouble. Won't need any other mods except an exhaust (and proper tuning of course).

Going from the Mitsu 15g or 16t up to a Mitsu 19t (still a small turbo) on a Volvo, they'll hit 300whp with good tuning and well over 300 tq. It would take a beast of a Prelude to even come close to a T5 with an upgraded turbo.

Most of the S70s out there are GLT's. Very few are T5's and almost none are manual T5's - so a Prelude should take most of the S70's out there.

The S70 T5's and 850 Turbos are pretty much the same car (S70 has a very slight advantage in top-end with its 16T turbo) so modifed 850's can give us a run for our money too.

My stock 1995 T5R would smoke my 5th gen, no question.

I think it is a shame that the mid-90's R's only came in automatic.
