Unfortunately, you don't know what you're talking about either. Yes toyotas make nice torque, but it's not the torque in this case. ALL of the Preludes from gen 4 and up make more torque than a 5SFE. The lowest of the bunch is the F22A and that's a SOHC motor... so I wouldn't bring up the torque factor. The H23 and H22 both make nearly 160 ft lbs of torque... so what are you complaining about? The only thing a Toyota would have on the Lude is torque response... which is a lot faster and ends sooner. That's NOT a performance motor. Either way, it's not thr torque. Mods don't decrease torque.... ever... unless the idiot owners are stupid enough to install a 3 inch exhaust or something. In other words, you're complaining about the owners, and NOT the cars... so just shut it. Also, torque in the higher rpms (4-5k rpms) is a LOT more useful than torque in the low-end (2-4k rpms). Of course, torque throughout the entire powerband would be ideal, but it rarely happens with n/a 4 cyclinders.

Honestly now... you guys are acting like Ludes are slow or something... Have you ever driven one? If not... keep the negative comments about a car you know little of to yourselves. Honda bashing is getting old... especially when it comes from people who don't know anything about the cars. Go ahead and bash the owners who f-u-c-k up the cars... but don't bash the car itself. A lude will hand almost any of you, your ass on a silver platter.

umm i own a 3rd gen 2.2l si currently so im gonna go ahead and talk and most of my friends own hondas and well guess what i drive them sometimes. so i do have a reason to talk. and running a free flow exaust (no cats and a 2.75") exaust you DO i repeat DO lost torque.

also I DO frequent the honda boards.

AND i feel that my celica WAS faster than my 3rd gen (keeping im mind the fact that it ISNT vtec and is auto)

also what i mean about "thats why i hate hondas" guess what i was talking about honda motors not the h22 or the h22a's all hondas even the k seris motors even with basic mods and 200 to the wheels ill bet my celica made more torque than it.

as for honda bashing you cant really say that either. i mean yeah i complained about the torque but i mean toyotas cant really make power in the high end on the other hand hondas can.
