In 1987, Road & Track published a test summary that shows the 1988 Honda Prelude 2.0Si 4WS outperforming every car of that year on the Slalom, including all Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches. It went through the slalom at 65.5 mph (105.4 km/h), an amazing result for the time. For reference, the 1988 Corvette took the same course at 64.9 mph (104.4 km/h).

The Honda_Prelude portion of Wikipedia was updated just a few months ago, by me. That's why I mentioned it.

Yes sir! That would be my car...





And all that testing was on stock suspension, imagine what its like now that I got Ksport to produce their Kontrol Pro kit for the 88-91 ludes.

My lude sits on them right now. Just can't beat the handling of this lude, like no other....

Yes I do have an H23A in my lude now. I haved helpe to revive this dying chassis by getting some new aftermarket components made to do motor swaps and upgrade suspension.

And you are right, I personally think it would have owned a few of those cars other than the vette and porche in an all out straight away.

I just got a 97 auto. Very cool car in black on black. It sure sticks to the road, though I am way too poor to know how a vette or porshee handles...
