Celica Vs. Prelude...?, Not a typical question Options

[No0bOne]

Since my celica is in a shop being done on I shared rides with my buddy with a 97 Prelude today to friends party and all. First thing i noticed was the lack of back space and its small trunk but that's cool. Now, I've beaten this car silly when we money raced when i had my other car. As time went by, people were later chillin outside. Started talkin about cars and be checking out eachothers rides. Being quiet as i am whenever these topic are stirred I thought about the Celica.

I was told that the prelude handles really well and it is fast. So what do you guys think handles better? I' didn't have the chance to test-drive it yet. haha. Oh they also have this shift-kit which is pretty neat, strange enough..my friend doesn't even use it? wierd.

Prelude: 195hp @ 7000 rpm / 156tq @ 5250 rpm / 15.4s(1/4 mile)
Shoot if it runs 15.4s stock than I must've ran mid-high 13's at least that time.

You guys know what? Many people says my car is slow:)
But you guys know what? I've been doing private races more than public races, and suprisingly these fools can't keep their shame but to hide it with false lies. it's cool , faster money win like that right? Okay i'm done with my blabbin

my guess is your friend is running a S, otherwise he'd eat you alive.

EDIT: your #s came from the 97 Vtech version, mine were from all the 96 versions.
