Default My car versus these two (Not a street race, just asking some questions)

Me: 98 Accord EX, AEM CAI, DC Header, GReddy full exhaust, Helix, NGK Iridium plugs. (Automatic transmission)

Car #1: 01-Now Civic LX, possible CAI, possible DC header, rice muffler that sounds fairly decent. (Manual transmission)

Car #2: 93 Prelude w/ F22, possible all boltons (Unknown transmission type)

Let's assume stock weight, because I'd be taking off the 17's, taking out the subs, and removing the spare tire.

Of course this will go down at the track, I'll be powerbraking to about 2200RPM and releasing, while the other two have the option of dumping much higher.

What do you guys think?

What a productive answer. The advice you gave me is beyond helpful, I'll print it and hang it over my monitor. Thanks!

Prelude ~ 15.xx seconds
Civic ~ 16.xx seconds
Accord ~ 16.xx seconds

By best guess.

That Prelude won't run 15secs, unless you're talking 15.99, then there's a slight chance.

If you're the V6, U'd win, If not, the Manual civic, if the prelude is modded well and stick shift then i'd have my money on that

Allright assclown, you asked for it.

Accord - low 16's, if it's a V6.
Civic - low 17's would be optimistic.
Prelude - low 16's, maybe.

What's faster, a Yugo, a first gen VW Cabriolet, or a Pinto? Yeah, great question. Wait until you own a car worth 1/4'ing, then come again. :squint:
