you bitches...
I'll outdrive your sorry asses seven days a week and twice on sunday. Regarding car lengths vs bus lengths.... this guy was pretty quick. maybe he had more than an intake. Also, I REFUSE to bounce the rev limiter. I'll shift at 8500, rather than chance bouncung the rev limiter, especially if I am walking somine. Lastely, the 4.77 are better for low-end. I am having to shift more frequently than 4.44 or 4.10. Maybe I need to shift faster....

Preludes were never meant to be impressive, but they are excellent for overall qualities, much like an RSX type S today. My Lude was extremely reliable (I'd say much more than an S), dependable, comfortable, gas efficient, etc., and its overall performance was very nice. It wasn't meant to be a sports car by any means.

Actually, I was impressed with them. A friend had one, and it seemed pretty fast. I guess that's why I was surprised by the easy kill.

You do realize that the S2000 makes its peak horsepower right before fuel cut-off -- and by (for whatever reason, I can't think of any logical ones) you are not taking it to redline you are thereby deliberatly making yourself slower.

The revlimiter is there to protect the engine, hitting it for brief periods does zero - nada - zip in the way of damage.

Surely someone who thinks they can "outdrive us bitches" would also have enough mechanical sense to understand this.

My friend has a Greddy turbo kit on his prelude. Before he got his fmic, I would walk him from a roll. After his fmic, he walks me.
