Default AU XR6 VCT versus Honda VTEC Prelude

My mate has a bet that his mates Honda prelude VTEC Fourth GEN manual will beat my Au xr6 vct series 3 auto. I say hes full of it!!!!!!

Weighing things up, the prelude fourth gen vtec is a 143kw at the fly 1200kg car. Against a 172kw at the fly, 1450kg car...

Whilst that probably means nothing because the rev ranges are different, and ones auto and ones manual, i still think the odds are in my favour.


Ive got pacey extractors, xr8 intake and KnN filter and highflow cat on my car.

How quick can the stupid buzz box be? The driver also isnt a particularly skilled manual driver, knows no tricks and doesnt understand how rev ranges and good shifts work.

Im getting excited to be honest

I'd say prelude to 100kph, stock I6 NA auto's are slugs off the line compared to a revy v-tec.

Yeh, make sure you settle it the proper way.... 5-lap battle around Mount Panorama. Not on a drag strip.

i think you will be very surprised by the Honda, especially if it has some minor mods, or even just an exhaust. Dont bet to much!

Yeh, if I had to put money on it... I'd put it on the Honda cos I think it's capable of pulling a major upset.

I couldn't get any better than 16.09 out of mine. Same as your car, except I didn't have the K&N Filter and mine wasn't a sprint. Not that the badge makes any difference to the times.

Werd, Maybe a stripe package might give the extra KW's to down the VTEC

Stripe Packages FTW

As soon as your get out of first gear, you'll be right... But getting out of that first gear does take a while

The VTEC's are actually not too slow. Not fantastically quick, but no slug.. Especially off the line. My mate has the same car, pretty quick upto 100km/h. Not that quick after that

i hate these threads, are you asking so incase we say he will beat you, then you give him some lame excuse? like "oh my car is running off 5 cylinders".

best way to find out is to just try it, but dont say that it was on public roads otherwise you will be on a holiday from the forum. i found that one out a couple of years back.

if your car was manual, or you had a decent stall convertor with a shift kit. you would have it hands down. i still think that you will win, but if he is in front in first and a bit of second dont give up. the 4litre will real him in midway through second, by third gear you should be infront.

Maybe he can get some influence from BONZAI, after he's been beaten ;)

a thread like this pops up atleast 3 times a week, if people want to really find out then the only way is to hit the drag strip and try it.

we dont know anything about condition of cars, and drivers abilities so how would be be able to say who is going to win?
