Havoc, you're too consumed with customizing, JDM bull crap, and aftermarket add-ons to make your case either way. Now, if you talk strictly stock vs. stock, off the showroom floor, the fifth generation Prelude is a bit faster to sixty and in the quarter than the fourth gen. VTEC model. That is the only way to compare the two, anyway. You have to be consistant when comparing cars, catch my drift? The way you talk, hell, you can make a Civic DX faster than a stock Acura NSX with the right equipment. Not a fair comparison, now is it?
