FYI a SH is slower in the 1/4th than a regular prelude.

Uh, many 4wd vehicles can be very quick up to 40 or even 50 mph, but from then, depending on the vehicles, they run out of breath. Especially in this situation, a FWD is no match for an AWD off the line, but once at speed, the Prelude will cross the 1/4 mile line much sooner. This story is fully believable because they only ran to 60, and the Lude lost 3 car lengths, which are very easy to make up from then on. By the end of 1/4 mi line, the Lude would have a few car lengths on the Jeep.

A Jeep could even take, or keep up, with an S from 0-30, but from then, an S will fly away. Of course, we're talking about stock..

Thank you Purple. I was going to say the same thing about beating the S off the line...but I figured everyone would throw rocks at me.
