me vs my friends 98 Lude

OK my friend just got a 98 lude. It has an aem intake, aem fuel rail, and supposely an aftermarket computer according to the honda place. anyways, its a pretty quick car obviously. In my 03 EX i just have the intake, headers, 2.5 inch exhaust with no cat, and a stage 3 clutch. Nothing special.

Well we decided to take the highway home bc we wanted to see how bad he can beat me untill i get my boost. His bro was in the car with him and my gf was in the car with me. Light turns green and we take off. To my surprise, we stay pretty much even until i was about done with 3rd gear around 75 mph when he started to pull away. I was obviously expecting to get killed, and i am still in shock. I'm guessing that he just cant drive bc it really shouldn't have been close at all. I just can't wait until i get that turbo on and then i can just play with him.

The newer ludes are VERY heavy. Almost makes the extra hp useless, but maybe he couldn't drive that well. Was it auto?

Hmm, my third gear redlines around 85 or so, why was urs beginning to end at 75? You have alot more mods then me too. Nice job though.

damn, lucky EX ppl.... I think the LX redlines at 90 or so on 3rd.

Maybe youre friend wasnt shifting too hard or fast b/c it's the 1st day of having it.

What do you guys think one of the newer preludes would run with an auto tranny?
