GSR vs Type SH?
Subscribe
One of my friends is looking at getting either an Integra GSR or a PRelude Type SH. He is mostly looking for speed so which one would you recommend? What other advantages would one have over the other?

Alright do I not see this post on every board!!! Speed wise Integra is much faster and much lighter, and the aftermarket ability is amazing! IMO though the Prelude is a much better looking car at least the fifth generation model that is, and SH is slower then the base model Prelude and the transmission already has this LSD built by Honda which is not good at all! The Prelude is heavy and down the road if you wanted it really fast you would need weight reduction, as for the Integra you wouldent. It's what ever floats your boat man!

the prelude sh doesn't have an LSD. it's ATTS (active torque transfer system).Originally posted by SpamRice

I have a 99 gsr & I have only raced one 97-01 lude & it was a 2k 5speed base, It was DEAD & I mean DEAD even till about 6k in 3rd where I started to pull ever so slightly & ended up beating it by about 2 bumpers, He had i/h/e & Act stage1 clutch & I had AEM CAI, If I had the choice between the 2, Id get the gsr due to the fact that I think it looks better & Its cheaper & It dosnt weigh as much, Just my $0.02

Man, how many times does this gotta be covered. It comes down to what you want, it's your opinion. GSR...high revving motor, lightweight car, fun to drive. Prelude...torquey motor, heavier but more refined ride comfort. Stock for Stock you take the pick cuz they run about even in the quarter mile. Don't believe what the magazines say...the SH is only 50 lbs heavier than the base model with the ATTS. I chose a GSR cuz it costed a bit less and has much better gas mileage hehe. Aftermarket support is also very good.
