I don't have to worry about theft in my area really, not anything like being in a city. Thankfully.

In Southeastern CT, you see 1 GSR to 10-15 RS/LS/GSs. The newest Preludes are more common than GSRs around here.

 

hrrm.. somehow around me that is not the case.



Personally, no offense. I think the prelude is a much more mature import.. domestic's respect it somewhat.. and a Integra is a poor mans prelude.

on a side note.. ive owned a 99 GSR, got rid of it cus i wanted the lude..

 

Well, you're in NY & have your own tastes. I'm in backwoods CT near the casinos & I call it like I see it. GSRs are hard to come by around here, Preludes are not.

If by more mature, you mean more luxury & weight, than sure. If you're talking raw performance potential, I'd take the GSR any day of the week.

 

i'll have to agree that 5th gen preludes are DEFINATELY more common around here in chi town than any integra(base, gsr, type r whatever) and i would dare even say i see more 4th gens around then integras put together...

 

don't have a 99 but have a base '97 and my roomate has a '00 Gsr. The integra is a very nice car. the weight aspect helps the integra over the prelude. the b18c is also a sweet motor. The torque of prelude's h22 helps too. The prelude is a more solid car. more luxury. from a sound stand point, the car is very insulated, which is a nice enhancement for the nice stock system. I like the driving position in the prelude much better than the integra. the teg feels more like a civic with a nice motor(which what it basically is). The prelude is more value for the money.
one thing about tegsthough, they look nice stock, with the stock ride height and their little 15inch rims, compared to preludes which look disporportioned stock(In my opinion anyway). but put a set of 18s(or17s) and drop a prelude and I think it looks way way better than a teg with the same done. try to find a 5spd though.
not to start anything but it really doesn't matter if they are common or not and it's 'common' knowledge that preludes sold only about 11,000 a year which is nowhere compared to the amount of tegs sold. I would actually like if there were more fifth gen owners around me, to share more info.
The 5th gens are really nice cars, from design, comfort and performance standpoint, although they are overlooked for tegs and civics. if you were to drive a prelude and then drive a gsr, it would feel like a downgrade.

I say go for the Prelude!!

 

Absolutely. My standard sig would show that I have a 2000 Prelude, but I've modified it to coincide with more important things as you can tell. When I was shopping pretty much all through 1999, I drove a few GSRs. Both the hatchback and sedan. And I came away with the same impression. It felt more like an upgraded Civic than a car all it's own. When driving a GSR and Prelude back to back (did it once), there is a huge difference in the level of refinement and solidity.

 

couldnt agree with fastball more. The lude seems like the better of the two cars to do a few mods to, and keep fairly stock, while the Gs-r has more potential on the track, just depends what you want. IMO too many people place importance on what the car can do in JUST the 1/4 mile, theres more that makes a nice car like the ride, steering, etc, Hondas/Acuras arent torque beasts anyways....

 

yo wtf can someone tell me why my picture doesnt work this is pissing me off, sorry it has nothing to do with this forum but im mad can someone help me out?
