Both are equally as fast (because they're a very similar car). Dan Parmelee 1999 Acura Integra SiR-G coupe "I heard Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms" "Word, bitch! Phantoms like a muhfuka"

Nobody else beat a stang gt Not unless it was an Automatic! A manual GT would pull on either a Prelude or SVT in every gear. It's called 60 more HP (tons more TQ) and only 400lbs heavier. Power to weight... We are talking stock for stock here of course & assuming the fact the driver of the GT knew that you had to upshift at redline... :p Also I'm not saying a highly modified Prelude or SVT couldn't run with or beat a late model stock GT. Just the number of car's that could are extremely small compared to the whole enthusiast crowd... 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...

You can abuse them mercilessly ALL DAY LONG without fear of broken tranny's, blown engines or smoked clutches. I like my little SVT, but I miss the way you can pound a Honda without fear of it ever breaking. Black/Beige '99 SVT Build #482. Shaved emblems & door dingers

It looked like you guys have a lot of Michigan members as do we....I'd volunteer but I have several hundred pounds of subs/amps/box in my trunk... 2000 CSVT #1172 of 2150 Toreador Red...Birthday -> 1/4/2000 Indiglo Gauges Drop in K&N Sylvania SilverStar Highs in Lows Fog light Fix Pioneer Premier P730 Sound by Audiobahn White HVAC Panel Security via Ungo MS2007 *Elky Mesh Mod

Even the 98 GT in a 5 speed should beat a prelude speed. I have lost to the 5 speed GT's but have beat automatic GT's. We all can't be the fastest! 1998.5 Silver Frost Contour SVT #5957 of 6535 List O Mods PhAtRiDe

I think it would be better to get 2-3, so you could eliminate driver skill as best as possible... 2000 CSVT #1172 of 2150 Toreador Red...Birthday -> 1/4/2000 Indiglo Gauges Drop in K&N Sylvania SilverStar Highs in Lows Fog light Fix Pioneer Premier P730 Sound by Audiobahn White HVAC Panel Security via Ungo MS2007 *Elky Mesh Mod
