Pre1ude, I don't race these fools because I know they have a lot more low end torque and hp and that is fine. I didn't buy my car because it has the best 60 foot time out there. From a stand still I don't think it would be much of a race but I do believe they have 4 more cylinders and 2.8 more liters. I am like you and bought it for the all around package plus I don't see 100 Preludes a day like I do with Mustangs.
