This Prelude was on my ass as soon as jumped on the highway..It was some teenager and his GF anywayz I was just thinking to myself **** it let him pass me but he kept right on my ass...I have anger problems so I floored it and jumped from 55mph to like 85 in seconds. He kept about 4 car lengths in back of me the whole time until i reached like 90 and slowed down as we aproached a 40mph zone in the town..Anywayz I slow down to like 45 and he passes me but theres a light. WE evenly pull next to each other and his 16-17 year old gf is yeeling outt he window you need to learn how to drive! My windows are 20% dark So they couldent see me but I figured why turn this into a a fight? I know I have a LS but I hate ****** Hondas with a Passion...ughhhh My question is if they couldent pass me why talk ****?
Why would you hate Hondas with a passion? Having anger issues answers my own question, you hate Hondas for no reason and you simply having personal issues resulting in that, so onto the next question how was that a race? My Prelude comes STOCK at 220hp and my friend owns a Cobalt SS supercharged which has 205hp, first of all, my prelude would destroy you no questions, then the ss because I do it all the time, this isn't a war story or a race you just have anger issues and need to learn your place with your slow car. Remember you own a family vehicle, not a race car. Prelude only comes in 2 doors for a reason, its designed to race.

If it was me, if I was doing the speedlimit, id just slow down, then when ever he would try passing, id get in his way. Best way to **** someone off. One of my buddys have a 93 prelude, with a h22 swap. He still thinks he can beat my cobalt. I just tell him, keep wishing lil guy haha.

Not true. I owned a 4th gen before I got the SS, and it wasn't even the SH model, it was just the Si (middle model) with the 2.3l non-vtec and I've run a LS from a dig and beat him, although it was close up til like 90... The 4th gen also had an a model with an H22a1 vtec motor with close to 200hp so they were no sloth.

it seriously has a gauge in the dash to the right of the speedo and it has a few LED lights and the more you can light up the more VTAK u get.......its so so so bad....lol. I sold Honda's for a couple of years recently and when this came out all we could do in the showroom is just put our heads down..
VTAK meter FTW!!!!!
I bet google image for this you could get something.

I had a clown back in 2000 say his prelude would stomp my Mustang. I had a 99 GT 5 speed with full boltons and a tune. We did 1 dig and 1 roll from 30. Killed him easily both times.
