Silly statement. So if some can launch the car well he can't be an excellent driver when it comes to demanding turns? Your generalization is completely incorect.

Now I'm completely confused. So your saying the lude with a quaife can't run away from other cars on twisty roads? I beg to differ. Thats the highlight of the lude. But first try to master the lude without the LSD.

You completely misread what he said.. he said that there ARE NOT very many cars that you CAN NOT run away from.. therefore... you would be running away from them..
i measured 5.8sec, but that was on my wrx. hehehe. i don't drag with my lude any more. i just enjoy the precision feel of the car and handling.

Originally posted by screamer5300 you guys... why stress? it's all good. Sh isn't really like

exaggerating a bit. I think preludes, with 4300+ RPM start could
do a 6.8 with MT. Sh would have a better start, but it's slower
than the base, MT or SS. I'll do the research and tell you exactly
why. I use to know this 2 years ago, when I got my first prelude,
but can't remember anymore./.
Are you sure about that?? The SH would not have better start as the ATTS only activates when the wheels are turned (assuming your not doing a 0-60 around a corner).
Overall, there's a lot of cars that can run away from us in the 0-60 or 1/4 mile. My 0-60 and 1/4 time was with a 3000 rpm modulation. I like my car and clutch (even though I have a CM Stg 3 waiting) and I don't think 0-60 is why I bought the car. Beating 4th gen Vettes on Hwy 84 by 2-3 miles... That's what puts a smile of my face.. hehe.
