yeah for the power they come with stock, the h22 preludes suck. i raced one with headers, intake, and a catback, and he pulled about 2 cars on me. we went up to about 110mph. for a car that has close to 200hp, i would expect a little better than that against a car with 135hp. the thing is they dont have a whole lot of torque

Uhhuh... one occasion doesn't mean you'll do it consistanly. I think you either don't know what you're talking about, or you're talking out of your ass. Sure ludes are heavy... but our AUTO H22 lude has laid down low 15 second runs...

B.S. if you ask me...

thats what i hate about hondas and love about toyotas torque. by the time that these honda guys put a intake, intake manifold, header, and a huge exaust on it. torques probably come down from stock about 10 foot pounds. plus they make whatever torque than can up around 4-5 rpms

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.

hey i used to own a honda. i like them alot, but they arent all that fast. i know my celica isnt either but whatever.
if you want, ill get a camera next time and race the prelude again. the guy lives iin my area and i know the guy a little bit, so it shouldnt be hard. he didnt pull on me much. ive been beaten worse by stock cars with less hp. ive seen a couple preludes run at the track, and all ive seen is mid to high 15s out of them.
