I guess we can expect another story like this. I was driving home from an interview in Charlotte, NC today. Keep in mind this is rush hour traffic. A guy in a green Civic that appeared lowered, had rims, cleared headlights, and stock exhaust pulls up next to me and guns it. I am cruising in 6th at about 40 mph with a pickup about 15 feet infront of me (yes I know I was following too closely, but it was rush hour). I didn't even acknowledge him and continued at my snail's pace. The guy slows down and does the same thing again. Absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully the guy was just trying to get an eye-full of an S2000, but who knows.

Nope, not even close. The Probe weighed in 100 lbs more than a GS-R and made less power/more torque - they were compared endlessly in the mid-90s and the acceleration numbers to 60 and through the 1/4 were a wash. The Prelude was 150 lbs heavier than the Probe, but put down 30 hp more with about the same torque.

Now now...be nice. Don't make fun of the people that live on other side of the tracks. They must have saved a long time to afford those 2nd hand Probes.

The probes actually better than a Ford, it's made by Mazda. Probably the only reason their cars still run.....
