preludes can hit decent top speeds actually but dat honda torque (or lack of)

I wanted one for a while, still do. But my friend I was going to be buying it off of has to sell it ASAP because he recently bought a Cobalt SS and needs the cash.

 

So, WRX STI or 240SX for me.

We've hit 140 before when racing in a friend's Prelude. We're not gonna let a Prelude hang with us at those types of speeds.

True. I raced a Prelude the other day in the Equinox, and was actually pulling ahead... until the 115 electronic speed limiter set in -.-

Actual SS, or just the "high-trim" NA Cobalt?

My mom wants to have the Impala tuned for a higher top speed, because it's locked at 108 without PCM tuning.

SS, supercharger and all

Let me find a couple photos he sent me.

 

Edit: Here's his Instagram, he's got photos of his Prelude, Cobalt, and his truck, along with Joey's old Prelude (Blue) and Joey's boosted Integra

Edit 2: In the video of him taking the Prelude out, he was both not fully on the gas and in drive, not in tiptronic mode.

Could have sworn it came with a turbo, not a blower

His is anyway

Had both depending on the year. Early models had a supercharger, later models had a turbocharger.

Are those rims plastidipped omg

[terrytek]

I kinda want to drive a decomissioned Police Interceptor. Those cars are pretty cool, they're cheap, since they were widely common, and basing off that, parts are cheap as well. But i'm still sticking to an MS6. Ford Police Interceptor seems cool though.

I don't see anything wrong with plastidipping

[Aniallation]

wait what 

Yep ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Half of the cars in my school parking lot have a plastidipped something and it's getting annoying lol

Yeah, the Prelude's rims are plstidipped because he didn't have money for new rims but wanted a different look

 

I love plastidip, it's not common around here at all

probably they're too strapped for cash to get a new set of rims haha

but you'll get to 140 way before the lude...  its all about acceleration, not what the speed governor is...

 

but either way, if you're gonna mod the car, the Cobb AP or an open source tune should be one of the first few mods anyway.  so it shouldn't be an issue

[EcoBoost]

Yep ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

dat interior

bruuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh

 

just the ls though, hah

[Aniallation]

bruuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh

Lol yeah, technically the AWD doesn't work either, so it's a base model LS FWD... comes with a decent amount of stuff for a base model though.

 

Now I feel like getting a TrailBlazer SS haha

I shared that I got my new car on IMGUR. I thought it was funny how there was this one guy who went and said

"That's just not enough power… hope you don't live anywhere that has snow or ice during the winter"

 

It's funny, because during icy conditions it's never about having more power. It's about having traction. The only time you really need more power is when you are trying to haul stuff.

Or if you want to go faster. Because GOTTA GO FAST.

Really it's living hell when you try to drive when quarter size hail is falling on your car. With rain. FWD really started to struggle. Even worse when you have summer tires. PS, this in the mountains, it still rains there.
