Honda vs Honda

This whole thing reminds me of when the iPhone first came out and if you didn't have one you were a total ballsac.

Yeah I'm guilty of judging cars that I've never driven, like I've never driven a Mondeo ST but I wouldn't want one.

Thoughts on specific cars aside though, does no one think it's pretty poor that so-called motoring enthusiasts don't really know anything about anything other than what they have? (And yes I do realise the irony of me saying that, WIP

) Going to a slightly different subject, many days and months and years ago I was playing Trivial Pursuit with a group of Italians (in Italian), and basically because I wasn't Italian, any questions relating to their nation or culture they automatically skipped for me as if I couldn't answer? I dunno if it's just the youngers like me that think that you only need to know one thing, but I like knowing stuff. Not sure where I'm going with this, but why don't people want to know more things, instead of knowing just what they need.

i tell you what guys i really am looking forward to getting a 5G lude especially for the handling as my v6 is terrible , ive been very cautious at the moment because the car just handles badly so only a couple more months left till i get one. as for the integra and the prelude (i was originally getting a ITR until i realised they cost so much for a good one then i was looking at a civic mb6 (as these had the early integra gsr engine ) until i was flicking through the vids and the missus see the prelude 5th generation so from that point thats when i knew this car was more me than the civic.I didnt think that i would like the front end with large sloping lights but a nice set of HIDS im sure will help but i love the backends of the gen 5.

They are all about the same. In a straight line there will be perhaps maybe a car lengths difference between them all. Which imo is nothing to brag about.
Again on a track in sure there will be a few seconds difference. Again nothing to brag about.

It all comes down to this...at a set of traffic lights and i pull up to an EP3 or teggy. Im always lower due to the nature of the coupe and being a Prelude. Therefor i win.

Just so much cooler.

Its the diesels you have to worry about. I ONLY JUST out accelerated an Insignia the other day in the S.

Prelud Type-S/S-Spec were meant to be the Type-R of preludes.

I'm with ratty. I'm so low when I stop at traffic light then almost 88.9% of the cars out there.

I love it.

EXACTLY what i did. Didnt like any of the others and IMO compared to the lude are over priced. Now I have more power, and a lot more torque, than all 3 of these cars in the lude and something thats mine

Plus unless i go to a lude meet i can go weeks without seeing another which is a big plus in my books

And i love the low ride too
