Does anybody know what they run at Bandimere, stock with a 5 speed? My friend just bought a '96 w/ 50,000 miles and he let me take it and beat the shit out of it. I was actually impressed, it's relatively fast and fun to drive or so it seems.

Anyways, last night he was itching to race somebody. One of my other friends threw me the keys to his stock 2000 Prelude SH and said I can race the Firbird in the Lude. So we went to a desolate 4 lane road(2 each way) and raced twice. Both times he got really clean launches and pulled his rear bumper to my front end and I was barely able to hold at his rear bumper each time. After shifting into 4th I very slowly began to inch my way back up but then we shut down. I think I may have been able to even out w/ him by the top of 4th but there's no way to say for sure.

To say the least, I was suprised, I was told those cars are slow and even though I wasn't used to the Prelude Clutch I am a good driver.

Mark, they should be upper 16's. They have the NA version of our motor which produces 200HP and 210TQ?

The five speed helps a lot I'm sure.

The real question is,

Is it faster than a Deloreon?
