Prelude 2.2vtec BB6 vs Eclipse GT 1995 year

hey guys, I'v got a little question to you.

I've got JDM Honda Prelude BB6, 2.2vtec, 1999 year model, right hand drive, absolutely stock.

My friend has got Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0GT, 1995 year model, it's stock too.


do I have a chance to win on a 400m distance with my lude against his eclipse gt?

He ment yes you can beat him and when you guys start the race, you can let him go before you even start and still beat him. now if it were a GST it might be another story

the non-turbo eclipse that year is rated at 140hp and the turbo at 210hp. if it's the NA eclipse you shouldn't have a problem.

that might also depend on if you are going from a stop or a rolling start, since its an auto if you have a good launch (stopped rather than a rolling start) i think there will be a pretty good chance that you will win and if you are a good driver, since he's driving an automatic it will pretty much be consistent for him at least if the torque converter is in good working order, anyway i would definitely like to see how that turns out w/a auto GS-T vs a lude. Good luck.

uh, that means it's a gst if it's turbo. auto's run about 1/2 a second slower and trap about 3mph less. if it's stock, you should beat him, barely haha.

i pulled one from a 20 punch, both stock, and had him by a fender for 3/4 mile or so then we ran out of road, but you should do that or better if your manual and hes auto

^^^No, not neccessarily.

Only the SiR-S Spec (LSD) and the Type S (ATTS) Prelude comes with 220HP.
