one word *smooked* i tried against them already, they are some nasty turbos car is quick and agile.

 

You might on the highway, you figure 200HP with the mods vs 227 for the WRX and you're 200+lbs lighter. AWD means less of those ponies are making it to the ground. If ever you have a chance it's on the highway, the 4G VTEC's are monsters in 4th gear VTEC. It's worth a shot, I don't think you'll get slaughtered in any event (assuming it's stock.)

 

Well. good luck. I hope you do win, but doesnt the WRX go from 0-60 in under 6 sec? ANd our cars are about 6.7 secs, but you do have mods, so you might have a good chance. I would say go fill up on some racing fuel and race his ***, good luck!

 

keep it in vtec...you=kill wrx oh well, have fun

 

tough call.... those are pretty quick. on the street you have no chance so don't even bother (they run low 14's stock), i don't know about highway though. ludes are pretty fast i can tell you that. i killed a lot cars on the highway with my 95VTEC.
WRX may not be one of them

 

I think an I/H/E 93 vtec would definately have a chance at killing a stock wrx on the highway...im sure it'd be close though. go and race the dude.

 

thanks all i'll race him and tell you guys about it

anyways beside i/e/h .i got weight reduce too trunk strip to metal no seat except driver . 2 front rims and tires from 92 accord(the steel one), i still got 2 back stock rims and tires( 93 vteclude's rims=heavy) that's all hope i'll win

 

the wrx surprisingle isn't as good a highway racer as the prelude. it starts to lose boost after 5000, where we're just gettin warmed up. it'll be a lot closer than you think.

 

You guys are too negative! Even if a stock wrx can run low 14's, a stock lude with a good driver can get high 14's. + i/h/e and hope the wrx driver isnt the best and you can take him, or atleast it will be very close

 

My friend has a yellow WRX and managed to pull out a 14.6 at the tracks. I can tell you, that's a very respectable time for a stock car, turbo or not. WRXs have a lot of perks about them. To be honest though, I think your Prelude will get one top-end on the high-way. I know from experience I've smoked a Z28 top end, so I'm sure you can as well with a WRX

 

oh yeah.. you could always try to find a set/pair of 94-96 lude rims. supposedly they were a good deal lighter.

 

I think on the highway after 130mph, u'll pull away, but it will be a good fight up till 130!

good luck.,

you've smoked a z28! holy , aren't those 8cyls. i guess they weigh about 1200 more too, but still.

 

You'll definitely have a good chance on the highway. WRX's only end up putting down around 165 to the wheels. An H22 w/ bolt-ons should be around there. So it'll come down to weight, gearing, & drag.

It's the launch that kills us - and is the reason for the great 0-60 & 1/4 mile times on the WRX.

 

as much as i would love to see this race, and watch the wrx take on the prelude, i can't believe you are all encouraging this guy to go out and do 130+ miles per hour on a public highway just to see who can go faster and longer. what will happen when one of those two hits oncoming traffic from an onramp? or perhaps a car that decides he/she isn't paying attention and moves into one of the two lanes those two are in?

for everyone's sake i hope none of you kill someone else on the road. perhaps you should plan this little event at a place where there is no other traffic.

 

true...not to mention cops. me and my friend got in a race with an A4 on the highway, (we won, only because he was a terrible driver) in his accord and got a ticket for doing 91 on an onramp.
