Seeing how the integra's motors in the 94-97 supposedly differed in the amount of horsepower produced, i was wondering if there was a signifigant difference between the 4th and 5th generation preludes. Let's say if a 96 vtec (stock) were to race a 97+ (stock 5 speed) lude, which car would be victorious assuming same driving skills, weather, road consitence, humidty etc.....

 

I'd say the 4th Gen. The 4th Gens are lighter and I really feel that Honda just overstated the hp on the 5th Gens. I'd guess both motors make the same hp at the wheels.

 

I would say 4th gen too.
4th's design is more to the racing type.
you don't have to look at other stuff
haha.. just look at the seat they give you.
lighter... same engine...

 

4th gens specifically the 94/95 vtecs were the fastest... they didn't have something the other 4th gen vtecs have.. do a search on hp.com...
