I'm not touching this debate with a 10 foot stick...

I predict flames...lots and lots of flames...

maybe i should juss delete it..

Why would people flame? I'm getting a 5-speed just cause I think your more involved with driving if you get a manual.

Basic upgrades like I/H/E/P could PROBABLY beat out 5spds....... IF the 5spds was stock tho......

I've heard somethin like that with less mods and still be able to hang with the 5spds........

oh well.............

See

I may not learn much from PO.com

j/k, but one general rule is always certain. Anything pertaining to auto vs manual will ALWAYS equal flame flame flame!!

yea.. but im not saying one is faster or better then the other.. i juss would like my car to be atleast the speed of a 5spd...

cuz right now.. since i got the 18"s im slow as hell i hit vtec.. doesnt go as much as it use to..

my friend has 18"S basic set up.. but he has PE exhaust.. id like to be atleast where he is.. speed wise thats all..

guess ill shave up for headers/exhaust..

or juss screw speed and go for SOUND get a new deck :P

DYI01 · 02-05-2002, 09:26 AM

it all depends on the driver of the manual prelude. Ive only lost to one manual prelude (Smitdog)

It does depend on the driver

I have beat some 5spds. but also lost some too

Well one of the problems rite there are ur big ass wheels.........

Maybe u can downsize by one and it'll make a big diffrence..... Or if u have ur stockies lying around, switch them on for a while to feel the difference......... (courtesy of SuperFlea

GOD BLESS THE POWER OF --NOS--

Just get N20 or a JRSC. You'll smoke most ludes out there (not everyone is FI'ed or running N20 afterall). I know SS ludes can handle turbo...but I don't know how well.

If I had an SS, I would personally go with a JRSC..I've seen it done, seemed fine to me.

ElectronBlueSH · 02-05-2002, 08:59 PM

Honestly you can hang with a 5 speed, but you better listen carefully, ok? You politely ask the driver of the 5speed to slow down and let you hang with him. Hope that wasn't too difficult.

GoHaN408 · 02-05-2002, 10:59 PM

GoHaN408 · 02-05-2002, 11:00 PM

Only if you hook your car up to a 9 second muscle car and let them pull you to victory!
