Really anybody on this site could hang with a lude, except at higher speeds because they have alot more torque than the 7thgen. GSR's usually would have the 7thgen top end. As for handeling the prelude would rape either car in it, with the GSR 2nd and 7thgen 3rd. The McFersion is a huge downgrade from honda. But with a bit of boost GSR's suddenly become a bit less well actually not intimidating at all.

^^^ I don't know if I agree about the handling. I think a properly tuned
7thgen handles about as good as it gets for honda FWD cars. Granted a properly tunned lude will handle good to, but I don't think any better than the civic. Stock for stock the lude will win all day, bic it is set up as more of a sports car. I will put it this way I have never seen a lude that impressed me at the track or the autox course. What really helps the civic out is its lack of weight. I guess you could shave weight off of a prelude, but to do it right you need to make sure you keep the weighting the same (i.e. take the same from the front as you do the back) you can deviate from it some to change the hanling characteristic, but you are sort of limited.

lol i think ajh dragon is right, because the lude's handling is much better than the vic stock for stock so if both are tuned correctly i would think the lude would be better also.

yeah i msaying stock for stock the lude is a much better handler. and when you proaperly tune a ludes handeling their amazing. I know they can take turns at a much higher speed. but because thier so heavy it hinders their performance in autox because they don't get as good as excelleration out of the corners.

Make sure you only race him from a roll. I'd say around 3rd gear around 50-60 and up. Anything lower and you will decrease your chances of winning or lose period. This will be done in a closed and secured area of course.
