Who would win?

In a race who do you think would win between a 00 and up Celica GT-S (6speed) or a 98 and up Prelude (5speed)? lets just say they are stock.

sorry this aint about a civic but i dont know where else to ask

the new celicas are quick, you can only mod them about as much as we can mod our cars right now. I think the gts has like 200 hp anyways. You'd kill the prelude in a GTS, preludes aren't as fast as most people think.

Its all about the driver i think. But if it came down to the cars then if its a 00' gt-s its all over, if not then it would actually be a close race. I wouldnt put any money on that one [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

i say the celica has the advantage. The celica has toque for a little car. While the prelude is heavy as a tank and only has around 150ft lb. Just remember toque wins races and HP sells cars.

That certainly explains why the S2000 usually pulls on the Mustang GT. 153lb/ft vs 302lb/ft.

Great point.

This is irrelevant. But my buddy has a 2k prelude (auto). and his brother HAD a 2000 Celica GTS auto also. the lude would really walk on it. but that's just because Auto GTS' really blow. Which is why this is irrelevant [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
