My g/f just bought a 91' B4C with the L98, it has 3.23's and 7004r. Bone stock. Her friend drives a Honda Prelude 5spd and is talking loads of **** about how her car is so much faster, etc. I'm not sure what year it is but i think its under a 97'. Before the race there will be minor mods done to the camaro but nothing major. We will be doing this race at the track.(1/4 mile) How will the Camaro do against both engines making different power. (2.3L 160hp vs. 2.2L 195hp). What do you guys think?

 

1st of all what do you mean by both engines??? Your last part is confusing. =/

 

How would it do vs both engines..... L98 vs the one prelude engine making 160 hp and the L98 vs the other prelude engine making 195hp. Basically i'm wondering how the l98 will do vs either motor b/c i don't know what engine the prelude has in it. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Gotcha.

If its the 160hp the l98 will layeth the smacketh down.
The 190hp on the other hand, could be close depending on the preludes weight compared to the camaro.

Either way I say the camaro has my vote.

 

the grunt of the tpi will pull alot on it in the starting....but the honda will catch up at the 1/4...the l98 for this one

 

the camaro should be at least mid 14s if driven well in good air (240hp B4C). the Prelude with the 195hp motor will be high 14s AT BEST

Z28 hands down

BTW- how are you coping with your GF having a faster car than you

 

haha not after this winter, my car should be low 13's i'm hoping. As of right now hers is faster though. lol She wants to beat me in EVERYTHING! She wants to start modding the car already and she is pissed b/c her sled is slower than mine lol.

 

Preludes are heavy, very heavy. You will smoke it.

 

your g/f not only wants to mod her camaro, but she OWNS one! damn thats cool. mine doesn't want to sit in my camaro, she's afraid of it, lol. this will probably be the a classic story of the racecar vs. the ricecar.

 

CAT FIGHT! LOL

My lady has a 2001 prelude 2.2vtec 5spd. Super nice car and it has a lot of zip...

Its still a 15s car though!

My car is a 91 gta l98 mild bolt-ons chip...
Theres no way a honda prelude will pull on a stock l98. Trust me i love the H22 motor and i drive her car every day but its just no match. Still a good race.

Theres nothing wrong with the little honda getting smacked around abit lol. But the pre-race smack talk is pure comedy. Even if your g/f spins a bit off the line she could make it up.

 

Yea she should smoke it. Even the Vtec Preludes powered by the H22a engine are not that fast. out of all the engines honda makes the H22a is pretty low on the totem pole, mainly due to the fact there extremely heavy cars.

 

she should eat it alive my freind raced a 5spd one today with his neon r/t and my old 91 z with a 305 was faster then his r/t she should have no problem.
