Oh and if you think GSR's are quicker on a track, bring yours down to Hallett, Motorsports Ranch, Texas Motor Speedway or Texas World Speedway and run it against my Prelude

hahahah still laughing still funny preludes bring it... from my experience they are slower in the 1/4 and around the track. id choose a 99 integra over a 99 prelude any day anytime . 98-01 integra do have small changes from the 94-97..such as the hood from bumper,wheels and a few other small changes .in my opinion the integra looks more sleek in design and the inside as well. Maybe i feel that the gsr is faster cause it seems that any prelude i race is slower..
i have simple mods
aem Cai
apexi exhaust
v-afc
tein coilovers
so why is it a prelude with the same mods are slower??
i guess u could say it was the drivers or maybe they had a weak motor but from numerous incounters id guess maybe its the weight or maybe they dont repsond as well to bolt on performance... you are right ccarnel about the aftermarket being more dedicated to cars which have better sales numbers,..but i like that support its kinda comforting knowing that u have teams with years of experice making parts for your car...preludes bring it

lets see the lap times ...
I hear a lot of talk but no numbers..
And i highly doubt that you found another prelude with the exact same modifications that you have done to your integra..
Sorry but I call bs on that one....

What track have you taken it to.. and what were your lap times?

If i'm not mistaken the prelude and type r are more of a comparison anyways... What are the specs for both??? Anyone care to fill in numbers for all three vehicles...

I'd pick the car that was named "The best handling car for under $30K" by Car and Driver
Any guess which one is it??

I read taht C&D article, they said Prelude better. Now I know I really can't take there opinion just because they are the magazine. But I have thought this long and hard, both the teg and lude are FWD which means no "real" fun... I wanted something AWD or RWD...but if I had to have one of these cars, I'll just have to go test drive them and see, my friend has a 1995 GS-R, it better than the VTEC del sol he had before, but not comfy to me...

No doubt, Prelude hands down... it's no ITR, but it's definitely superior to a GSR... in fact I even liked how it handled better...

R6e36 - I remember, Type SH as a side not, the ITR wasn't considered since it was a limited run....
