Hi ,4th gen prelude Si Or Gsr Which Is Better Cars In Performance ,handling ,And Fun To Drive.front collision fix it or buy a gsr or 5th gen lude

 

The GSR is lighter and a little faster, kinda like a quicker Civic. The Prelude Si has more torque down low, is probably not quite as fast overall, but has more class than any Integra.

 

Apples to Oranges.

The stock GSR will outhandle and outperform a stock Prelude, but they are built on completely different platforms for completely different purposes.

 

The '93-96 VTEC Preludes would be a better comparasion as they're a little lighter then the '97+ and, of course, come with the 190hp VTEC motor.

 

Unlike the GSR, the Prelude won't get stolen.

 

yeah but the GSR is one of the best motors that honda makes.

 

Wrong. I believe Preludes aren't one of the top stolen cars simply because there aren't so many of them out there.

Edit: My first lude was stolen.

 

the GSR is stolen because people want the engine and the interior, both of which are extremely expensive and if taken from the car when stolen will result in an instant totalling of the car.

when people refer to the acura integra as the most stolen car in america it isnt gross amount, it is (amount stolen/amount registerd) the prelude is not on that list.

 

How do you figure. The Teg is an Acura, the Prelude is a Honda. :thinking:

 

I know, and it's a little strange that the tables are turned with these two models. But it's true. The interior of a 4th gen lude, particularly an Si or VTEC, feels a little more expensive than an Integra. The dash wraps around you, the seats support you better and look better, the shifter is shorter and blacker. The Integra has kind of a cheaper, as well as less sporty, feel inside. Not a big difference, but a noticable one.
Also, the teg has less torque. Torque is an essential part of luxury or class, or whatever you call it. The lude Si is not torquey by the standards of a true luxury car, but it's torquier than the teg. It feels good because it moves with authority without winding up to 5k rpm and sounding like rice. I also think the lude headlights look way better.
Of course, this is anybody's opinion, but drive both cars and I think you'll agree.

Edit: My buddy had a GSR and we compared them side-by-side.
