The 12v ( 4cyl ) is definitely slower than the prelude so yes you'll take the 4cyl.
If your racing in the tracks and stuff and taking turns etc......the vw will take ya cause of its torque coming out of the turns etc...
the 12V VR6 is the 170 bhp version, the 24V is the 200 bhp version.
the mkIII GTI weighs in at 2800 lbs so it is lighter.
at a track, the GTI doesn't stand a chance with equal drivers. the rear suspension design on a GTI is utter shiet. the prelude will eat most modern VW's up at a road course.
