R34 25-gt V 4th Gen Vti-r Prelude

[HairyMerkin]

So, one of my mates thinks the prelude will shit all over a skyline.

Thoughts/Experiences?

[JGTC]

To be honest, all Honda people think that, typical Honda speak, i don't mean to generalise but that's the reality

As far as the comparison, i really don't think the 4th gen Prelude will match up to a GT-V - which has better low down torque, LSD bigger brakes than the standard 25GT model

The only Prelude i think will give an R34 a run for its money is a JDM 3rd gen V-tec Prelude with mild mods, mate of mine has one with Mugen Extractors, pod filter and full X-force exaust and he's pulling 110kws atw, bearing in mind they are also 1100kgs

I hate these threads but I love posting in them, go figure. Just go and do the drag race already. On paper though, the Prelude will win in a dash off the line. In a rolling drag from 80km/h...might be more even / in favour of the Skyline. Just look at the 0-100 times of them both. VTi-R Preludes are no slugs by N/A standards. And squareznboxez...Preludes are more like 1350kg from memory.

It's not a GTV, i meant the 'v' as versus.

But I don't really like him at all, so I highly doubt we'd be in a situation where we could race. I just hate that he says it.

[R34 -_-]

Stats don't mean shit unless your racing brand spankn new cars straight from the factory, maintenance plays a big part in comparing used cars, If a cars had a hard life then i think its fair to say it will certainly have less power and torque than what it had brand new. Even if a car has 50hp more than another car on paper it doesn't necessarily mean its going to be the fastest, might have low compression on a cylinder and have a f(*ked piston or something.. lol.. You never know who will win until you race.

oh boy another of these threads.

Go to a race track/drag strip and find out.

Too many factors as the guys pointed out above.

Also transmissions, mods and driver skill - Launching a FWD prelude is heaps harder than a RWD skyline.

Pointless thread really.

Who's di(k is bigger

Howcome?

probably be a close race and come down to who gets the better launch. sure the fwd is a bit harder to launch, but they aren't that hard but the honda's aren't exactly torque monsters so wheelspin is less of an issue. go and try and launch a manual 3.5L magna and you will find it a bit harder.

both cars being dead stock and with a decent launch from each vehicle i think i would probably have to put my money on the honda though.

and skyline owners talk the same was as well. basically it's the same shit with a different brand. nearly every fan boy is going to say that their car is faster than a different make, reguardless of whether it actually is or not.

i'd be inclined to say 4th gen over the 34...

I agree... even moreso if the r34 is auto

I also agree with this...

Fan boys piss me off

[JGTC]

Sorry my mistake, the curb weight of 4th gen Preludes are 1280 kg, which is the one my mate has, the JDM V-tec versions had the same power from the factory as a R34 25GT, assuming your mate's one is the more common ADM non V-tec model i think your car will be much better.

5th gen Preludes are even worse unless you have a JDM Type-S

With the fanboy statement i think Honda fans rate their V-tecs much more than any other car fans rate their NA or turbo cars

[dori34]

but VTEC owns all?

[HairyMerkin]

They are both manual. His is lowered to a ridiculous degree, and has a varex exhaust.

Mine is bone stock.

[Ultimategtr]

You should get a Type R sticker... in red.. then you will do wheelstands when you launch.

My Supra is faster than both.
