well my friends
because i'm less into the tuning and more into the overall feel and style of the car, I don't mind a coupe witha little weight, and its not like it doesn't have the power to move it. Also, Car and Driver inthe past named the prelude one of the best handling cars under 30k. Consumer Reports show both cars are extremely reliable, which was one of the main reasons I decided to look at them(if i was gonna look into a sporty car, It wasnt gonna be a p.o.s.

I got the insurance quotes today. If I were to take 100k per person and 300k per accident, along with a 1000 deductible in the event of a theft or accident, I can work the quotes down to roughly:


3000 for the 94-95 teg LS (not the gsr or the type r, if you read my original post thats what the plan was)


and ....


3442 for the 97prelude, base, (sh =more expensive repairs, ill take what my dealer friend finds, stick of course)



Soo, my mother thinks I'm a kid who examines things logically enough to decide on a good car, trusts my decision, as long as the insurnace is decent(for mass those quotes r good)

My father is cheap and wishes he never mentioned "why dont you look at other honda besides the civic" so now the task is to convince him for a more sporty car

so it will take some time, but i will shoot for the LUde, if not plan is B is the Teg.

unless someone comes along w/ something I dont know that seriously alters my opinion lude 1, teg 2nd.

Thanks for everything

feel free to keep this up the rivalry is fun to read.
