Default why are the 5th gen prelude so hated between Acuras/Accords

In my town ever since i got my 5th Gen lude, everyone says its weak i wasted my money, that an integra is my best bet or the accord v6's. did i really make a mistake buying this car i mean i feel as if i have decent power, maybe is it from anger cause i smoked his 95 integra RS?? my friend that has a 99 mustang GT loves it hes 1 in 15 though so should i be thinking about to shut these doods up?

I kill GSRs and whoever said the accord V6 is faster than the prelude is smoking rock.

If it's got an H22A1 for a heart, it's got my love.
Edit: Had to add the "1" for mike95lude

i would take your car over any accord or integra (except typeR of course )
you made a good choice, and besides it's your car. if you like it then forget what other fools say. H22 preludes are the bomb.
and whoever said accord V6 is better performance wise had too many and

Dude, you gotta be talking to the wrong people who are telling you that about the Prelude--especially if they drive Hondas themselves. Let's put it this way, before the S2000 came about, Preludes were THE Honda sports car...If that tells you anything. They are a different class of Honda...not a beefed up economy car like the Civic SI. Oh yeah, your Prelude will take a GS-R for what it's worth all day long...Accords---those are family sedans, c'mon, no comparison. Hope that boosts your esteem You made a good choice of car, props to you.

You only made a mistake if you bought an automatic. If you bought a 5spd, then you kick the integra and the accords asses. They're just made cause your car looks better and is faster than theirs.
