Tru tru my buddies hits 13.2~13.4's all day. But a auto running 14's is very decent. Good enough to beat alot of cars in the street. Hopefully 13's soon on a auto. Hehe. 5th Gens mind u.

I still think SS Prelude are still slow only until you add a 50-75 shot of NOS, cause thats the only way you'll make them fast

Plus, It'll help destroy the SS tranny faster, so you can get a 5-spd instead!

Thats a nice time for a ss. Yeah and there are quite a few haters on this board, just ignore them. I hope to have my 75 shot pretty soon. I'm a 5spd though.

We're not haters of any prelude, but we are haters of the sub-par Honda auto tranny in the fifth gens....

I think you're misinterpreting what luder94si was trying to say. The auto tranny in the 5th gen is sub-par because of reliability and performance problems. There have been a lot of issues with trannies being rebuilt, replaced or swapped out for 5-speeds. There's a web board dedicated just to the tranny problems (http://groups.msn.com/HondaSportshif...pgmarket=en-us). Also, the SS tranny robs so much of the motor's potential. Just look at the performance differences compared to the 5-speed. BTW....I have a SS
Prelude too. Love the car but I wish I had a 5-speed.
