All so what is the big deal with VTEC?? Isn't VCT pretty much the same thing?
Yes but your AU does 13.0 @ 200km/h doesn't it?

lets start with the nsx $70k for twenty year old car .new turbos half the price and would smoke it.as it would the s2000.and you want to mention a civic-type r.my mate had one of these ,unless you want to thrash the shiiiit out of your car constantly,it has no power.in my mates, the vtec you all ****on about does not kick in until 5,500 revs,below that it feels like a hyundai excel(have any of you vtec worshipers actually driven one).very gutless below 5,500.then yes at 5,500 it does feel like a semi-turbo kick in,but you have to thrash this car to make it work,not so with the ford,basically the honda is not a good driving experience because of this.so nothing to 5,500 then the cam kicks in for a couple of thousand revs(whoopee).drive a real car I say.

While a VTEC does get up and go to SOME extent, A VCT will still hold its ground which is good news.. I was quite surprised by the results having driven a VCT and a VTEC...

I leave you with this..

If NISMO stands for Nissan Motorsport.... What does Honda Motorsport stand for???????

HAHAHA...Homo.

I'll also have you guys know that from a rolling start the VCT owns the prelude. Especially when we tried at a rolling 60 km's an hour and then launched. That was fun.

And i'll also mention the prelude's in-ability to stop on command like the weighty VCT did

I've previously owned a AU xr6 vct and have driven a VTEC 01 prelude. Would rather drive the AU anyday of the week. Thank you XR6 4eva for your honesty about the race, losing isnt the end of the world just a start to knowing the potential of your car. Although i now drive a XR8 Boss, i miss my auII xr6 vct so so much.

My bet would be on the Honda Prelude the fact that its light and it doesnt have 4 doors to hold the car down.

Take it to the tracks. Also it does come to the fact of the driver in the end no matter what car you drive

Hmm, if you say so.

Next race comes in about 1 weeks time, im getting a shift kit, JMM race-series headers and a unichip fitted before it. Hes getting a enclosed pod filter fitted and some manual driving lessons : And for "test" purposes, hes going to have 4 people in his car against just me in mine, he thinks it will make no difference. I said go for it.

I just find it really interesting having physical "right before your eyes" evidence that your "modification" actually enhanced the performance of your vehicle. I mate of mine that has a VT made a extra intake pipe out of PVC which pops out just underneath his front bumper, now he thinks he cant keep traction (just a coincidence i used a commy driver as an example). Point being...some modifications make you noticably faster, some cause your excitement to make you think its faster :

Further more, if people are actually interested in hearing the results based on enhancements, wheres the better place to post this sort of stuff?

At this moment i not seeing your point about racing a prelude and your Au. Both of them are manufactures differently, and the fact you are both planning to race on the street isn't exactly an brilliant plan at all.
