hey im wondering which would win in a race stock rsx type-s or a 2001 prelude type-sh.? I have a lude 01 and alot of people talk **** saying that a rsx will smoke my lude....so im wondering and also i checked this magazine and it said that the rsx hits 15.6 quarter mile..im wondering what the prelude would hit quarter too.. thanks
I've read that the Type-S will do the 1/4 in the high 14s. Ofcourse, as always, this is assumed with a good driver familiar with the car. Preludes typically unmodded or slightly modded do it in the low 15s and sometimes in the very high 14s. Just learn how to launch the Prelude (see one of the many threads on Prelude_LC launching) and you should beat the avg. Type-S driver or at least give them a run for their money.

it comes down to the driver. lude has torque to get off the line quickly, so if you can launch the prelude right you decrease your 1/4 mile time significantly. Who knows what happens after 3rd gear though, type s should pull away in 4th regardless i think. Call it Type R syndrome. power to weight plus gearing works well at those speeds
it was tested and time was 15.6 but the temp was high tat is why and the elveation too. anyway i did have a chance with a RSX Type S but the dude don't know how to drive i think he had 4k mile on his car and i smoke him of the line and its was like 3 car ahead of him, so i think he doesn't really know how to drive man
Alright, the RSX Type S has same horsepower, 14 ft. lb. less turque, but weighs nearly 300 lbs less than the Type SH. With equal drivers, the RSX is ginna win from star to finish. If you go to the twisties, the RSX is gonna win from start to finish. The RSX is geared better for speed. The RSX is the Honda version of the legal race car, strip or track. I wouldn't trade my Prelude for an RSX, but the RSX is a faster car all around.

everybody know that is why i need to find a good driver on RSX to compete with. I might get smoke but i'm still u to it, i just want to see how it run and how bad i might lose to, lol
I've raced a RSX type S, it was even through the first 2 gears then he started pulling pretty bad on 3rd gear and so on and finished about 3-4 lengths ahead. Same thing happens against a type R, they always pull hard after 3rd gear
YEs yes you are right. Throughout my whole article, I was speaking of the Type S, not the base. Base Lude vs Base RSX, we will tear them a new hole! But RSX-S vs Prelude-SH, they will beat us with equal drivers.

But isn't it funny that now some magazine prove they can do mid to high 14sec with a RSX-Type S, but in Japan, they prove that the new TYPE R (RSX-TYPE R JDM) can only do low to mid 15sec and they (Honda Tech) said the new Type R is still a bit slower than the old Type R (DC2-R), so, I don't think our USDM RSX-Type S can do mid 14sec.... Or you can say the Honda 's tech can't drive.....
doesnt the type s lude weigh less than a usdm lude? no sunroof no power locks etc etc.
i think a prelude type s is faster than a rsx type s. 20 hp is a big deal for low powered high revving na motors.
ive raced a type s from a dig and we were neck and neck till we shut it down around 100 mph. he even had a header. i had an intake. based off of this, im sure 20 hp and some lbs of torque would make the race conclusive.

I dont have my 5th gen yet but I can tell you how my 4th gen h23 has done against k20(type s,fg/fa5).I raced my friend before and after he installed his cai,race header, and reflash.Before all that we did a 10 roll I beat him by a car in a half note"he didnt powershift 1's into 2nd gear. Note my friend is very good at driving I think I can beat someone else behind the wheel of a k20.Secend race he drove good he beat me by a car and a hood.
After his mods him and NA 300z bolt ons and me air intake h23 raced from a dig
(1/4 mile).300z got a slight jump but was neck to neck with the si 300z untill 3rd si beat 300z by more then a car and me by 3 to 4 four cars.I raced a stock rsx type s also on the freeway 70-125 we were neck and neck.
This is my experience.

I know this thread is rather old, but I have actually raced an RSX type S. Back in July after school left out, one of my buddies bought one. We went out in the country and did a few races. I have a 98 lude, completely stock except for a cold air intake. And it's an automatic So from a dig he had me by a car length. However, from a 20 mph roll, which we did three times, it was extremely close. He won two by less than half a car length, and I won the third time.
