Coincidentally, my roommate recently bought a 97 type SH 5 spd w/around 50k on it. They are very nice cars btw. One day, we went out on some country roads and ran my 98 SVT against him. He's not the best driver but....I took him off the line with a beautiful launch (on Blizzaks) and had him by a 1/4 car length. Then, around 65-70 mph, he pulled on me. Don't know why. The preludes are always a close race for an SVT. The non SH is actually quicker because it does not have ATTS. Anyways, I will tear him with my GSC's on now!
