3rd gen integra vs. 4th gen prelude, whats a better overall package? Options

[saleeka]

So today me and a bud we arguing back and forth over which car is a better overall package... i said the 4th gen prelude (92-96) because of the SI's 2.3 and its broad powerband, the 4WS model and its super sharp handling characteristics (sp), and of course the VETEC model and its hyper-output... My friend, on the other hand, insisted that the weight saved from the integra (94-01) would out-perform the prelude anyday and that there also was vetec in the GSR's, to in wich i said the prelude had WAY more torque... with aftermarket for these cars though, im unsure how the tide will fall. Next to the Type R integra, i think the Prelude still is superior, and since the type R is super rare its really not a true comparison... GSR VS VETEC I think the Prelude is nicer... and LS VS SI prelude hands down... so what do you all think?

I don't mean to hijack, but..
What would you guys go for a 3rd gen integra GSR or a 2nd gen eclispe GSX? The eclipse is AWD and has some more power, but I think a GSR would take it with the weight difference, and reliability

The eclipses are too heavy again... regardless of the power differences and AWD. The 2nd gens can't hang with the Tegs on the track either. That, and the Tegs have far superior suspension set-up and powertrain/drivetrain for racing purposes.
