5th gen preludes are pretty quick, most have been known to hit high 14's out of the box. As for the SH model the only difference is the painted trims and the ATTS which "acts" like a LSD but isn't. As far as racing goes, they both are quite similar, it all goes down to driver. Whether it is roadcoarse, autoX, or drag, with a slight advantage to the Lude with less weight. Its just a drivers game.
