They do have though dukface, compared to pretty much any modern car!
Modern car engines are all lightweight buzzy things with no guts that as a result, stall whenever you try and pull away

Horrible

At least you can still tickle along on idle in traffic in the lude.

I am talking about when compared to the b series Hondas. The b16b is a great engine but you really do have the ring it's neck to get anywhere and the same can be said with the b18c although not quite as bad. It's a shame the b18c wasn't in the ek9 out the factory as it really is the best handling honda I have driven...I guess no one would buy any integras if they had done that. I was love to go for a ride in a type s prelude as I bet that's a whole different animal.

Nothing in particular, just basically any and every modern car I've driven.
e.g. The FN2 Type S/Sport/whatever it was called that I drove was absolutely drokking gutless.

yeah the civic type S is a real let down that's why the civic boys think the prelude and the prelude type S are crap

This is exactly what I have found too. Having to explain why I do not own a type r. Why did honda create a flagship model, call it a type s, then years later, belittle it by calling lesser spec 1.4 civics and 1.8 accords type s. What pissed me off more to the point is people then saying " bet you wish you bought a type r " drokking novices.

I for one am glad. Can you imagine the jobby Prelude TypeR owners would spout?!
