Is there any reason you feel the need to come on here and bag out our cars and our people?

Shows how much you really know bout 'splondas' man, 'pooludes' are tough cars, i was in an accident a few months ago that should have written off my car, but my car, being a lude, got out of it with nothing more than some damage to the front bumper - something for you to think about, honda's are good quality cars.

Cant we all just respect everyone's rides?

In the 1/4 mile the difference in the stock times are so little for GPX and VTiR that it basically comes down to the driver. But, around twisties the Prelude is definately behind the FTO in handling.
Plus, the last shape of the Prelude had safety problems and was one of the reason why they stopped production.
Let's face it, the Prelude was never designed to be a proper sports car. It was just made for old people that wanted a car that was 'sporty' :roll:

Yeah I think most Prelude owner don't want to hear this. I was working as a part-time marketing reseach for Honda when the last shape Prelude came out, their main target buyer for the Prelude was mid 30-40 age group, & the Intergra was for the younger buyer. :?

But as "luded" pointed, don't put down any other brand of model cars down, they all have pro & cons. :D I grew up with Honda people, as my mate was the CEO of the Honda factory before it become the Hyundai factory in Taiwan. I have to say overall quality wise, Honda is better then Mitsubishi.

my mate from my club smashed 1 on the 1/4 mine n he has a 94 gpx with custom air intake, exhaust and delimiter, the preeeedude was quick off the line but the fto was just that bit quicker in second gear and the splonda was playing catchup.

may have been the driver though eh?
