You guys are nuts. Have you driven these vehicles? The Si rocks and with the resonable mods, you got yourself a rocket.

yes with about 2000 dollars in boltons you can have yourself a mid 15 second rocket h:

do you by chance ride a huffy or something? your sense of speed is very skewed.

The sign of a good racer is someone who can win despite not having top speed.

Wtf are you talking about. Top speed has nothing to do with the driver or really a race. Most the european cars are governed to around 120/130 and they would still lose to an ungoverned stock prelude if they raced to 150

werd. my m coupe is limited to 137mph.

of course if I was racing a prelude I would be wayyyyyyy ahead by the time he hits 150mph and does the ricer flyby :rick:

unless it was supercharged

99PreludeLC on this board was spanking all the E36 cars not to mention a few bolton E46 m3's

but yes the M coupe is still pretty sweet, my uncle drives a 99 4 door dinan SC M3 and he raves about the coupe's handling all day long.
