Default My friend just bought an 86 lude :)

its the 2.0si and we went and test drove it last night, excellent condition, new paint job, no rust at all. This car is nice, and i cant believe how quick this thing is. 1st gear is insane and 2nd isnt that bad either, it has only 121,000 miles. This cars 1st gear is even quicker than mine, its unbelievable.

We are picking it up tonight, i cant wait. How quick do you think it is?, atleast 0-60 anyways.

Dude the car is 17 years old, thats one year younger than the girl I'll be taking out tonight. I believe taking out an 18 yr old ripe tender girl is more exciting than your FRIENDS (not even yours) 1986 Prelude.

First gear on an 86 SI is stronger than on your 96 VTEC?

I know you are excited for him but lets get a reality check here. 130 HP on about 2,650 lbs, And that equates to about 105 at the wheels.

17 second car anyway you look at it.


EDIT: At first I was thinking it was an 88 Si, those HP numbers are probably wrong.

yeah its only 110hp but weighs only 2370lbs, a 3rd gen weighs 300lbs more and has 25-30 more hp, so they would be pretty equivalent to each other and if a 3rd gen can run the 1/4 in mid to upper 16s im sure this one could.

its got a lot of life to it im tellin ya, but like i said we are going to pick it up later tonight and maybe we will take it out with the gtech.

Some engines are a lot stronger than others, you all know that and maybe this is one of those freak engines i dont know
