Sorry GS-R, SR-V is king. - Honda Prelude Forum

MechEng · 07-30-2002, 10:49 AM

Check out the 1994 C & D comparo of GT cars. The SR-V blows
every car away in acceleration. It does need better brakes though, even w/ the bigger rotors/calipers.. I suspect the crappy OE pads.

This should put to rest ... so is a GS-R faster than a Prelude.. blah blah blah

moved

VeeTec · 07-30-2002, 01:49 PM

I moved it back because it has to do with a 94 Prelude VTEC. I remember those old comparo's, and the 4th Gen Prelude VTEC always faired well.

was the eagle talon turbo????

thanx for posting this....

you'd think most people on this board have never read a car mag..maybe this'll settle stupid arguements once and for all.

and yes, it's the turbo.

and hopefully you guys will stop saying that the fourth gen is SOOO much lighter than the 5th gen

i come in peace, please dont start a flame war of a 4th vs 5th gen

it might not be a lighter but it is faster

red92s · 07-30-2002, 06:19 PM

Yup, the Prelude sure walked all over those cars that cost thousands less

meaning?

Actually, if you use the price as tested, the Prelude was actually less than the Celica, and only a couple grand more than the cheaper cars in the comparison.

I weighed my 95 SR with a full tank of gas... and came in a around 2900 pounds... Mind you this is my car "as is", not stock...

And othe TPC member weighed his 5th Gen and it came in about 300 pounds heavier. I think it's in the FAQ at www.hondaprelude.to but the site is down right now. We crashed the server.. again..

Here's the link

I got more old 4th gen articles and I'll scan them if someone gets off their but and scans the Helms rear bearing assym removal and replacement.

VeeTec · 07-31-2002, 02:19 PM

Mine, 93 VTEC, weighed around 2,785 with almost a 1/4 tank. Oh yeah, that was minus the spare and jack.
