I raced my friedns brand new vtec prelude with a K&N intake thing and pulleys and a short shifter and lost my car is a stock auto 85 305 TPI iroc with 3.42's and no posi it also has a dented runner if i got it tunned up and got a posi rear and got new stock runners could i take him he also just took it to a track and ran a best 15.8 1/4 mile.

 

I raced a newer prelude, he had 2 guys total in the car, I had 3 and beat him by quite a bit, and I only ran a 15.48-15.6 at the time with hte exact same car as you, maybe the prelude you raced had stick and mine had auto... who knows.
