Ok, I know the fourth gens are the fastest ludes and I need to know what quarter mile times one could hit with a intake and exhaust.
I now own a RSX Type-S and I'm trying to support my argument with a fellow clubrsxer that the fourth gen with an intake is not going to be beaten easily, if at all by a stock type-s.
So any info would help me out in defending the ludes reputation. Thanks
BTW, for those that don't know about RSX's, the type-s can get into the high 14's stock if well driven, but I'm sure a 4th gen vtec with I/E could do the same?
I think stock for stock the 4G VTEC and RSX-S are pretty well matched. It would come down to drivers. BUT, when you get into mods, the RSX-S starts to leave us behind. RSX-S's take so well to mods it's just insane. But, true a 4G VTEC won't be beaten easily by an RSX-S--close match.

with a good driver, a bone stock (no intake or exhaust) 4th gen vtec will break 14's... it's been done over and over.
I don't personally have any experiance with the new RSX Type-S', bt I'd imagine it's about the same. So like everyone else stated, it's a drivers game there. With the intake and exhaust on the Prelude, it'll be just that much harder to beat
Thanks for your help guys. I might own an RSX now, but I had my lude for three years and I still consider myself a lude owner.
I get so pissed when these guys think the Type-S is so much faster than everything, granted we mod very well, but stock it still has 200hp and mod compatability is irrelevent.
