power's nice, but really i'd love to just have nice track rubber for the rest of my life...

at any rate the car isn't holding me back these days, it's my line.

I agree everyone's into going straight.Corners rock,I autoX and I totally love it .Now I want to do a "lapping day".I started out doing 1/4 mile and that was okay at first but you can only go so fast in one summer without doing major mods.1/4 mile is all about who has the biggest wallet,if you've got money your car's going to be fast.AutoX is sweet because it's grassroots,anyone can try it for a minimal amount of money and your car doesn't even have to be modded out.

I will say cornering is more fun as well. I could give 2 sh*ts about how fast my 1/4 is or just driving in a straight line. THe Prelude is all about taking it through the twisties and cornering.
If you want fast in a straight line, there are much better cars for that. If you want cornering ability the Prelude is the car.

hehe i'll take a quaife over ATTS anyday. apparently, the ATTS system has a tendency to push sometimes, which becomes kind of annoying...

civics/dc2 vs bb6:

Ludes are solid Auto-X performers but because civics and integras are lighter they generally handle a little better on a course. all depends on your setup and class of course.

I disagree, it actually depends on the type of course, and mainly the biggest part of auto-Xing is the driver, but a civic will not outhandle a prelude on a course, regardless of its lighter weight, an integra on the other hand has the capability of pulling a slightly higher lateral acceleration force, but not much, the prelude has the widest body out of the civics and integras, nothing minor suspension work cant fix, and also the preludes have the extra torque to pull out of a turn in some situations that an integra or civic might stumble
