Yes, they can, with a good driver.... But its rare, better off trying from a roll because the ITR LSD has a great advantage at the start..

where are these slow type r's?
here in florida, anybody not able to get a 14.6 out of it is instantly labeled a retard and shunned from the 1320.

More like it, it's over hyped by people that don't know what the ITR was made for. It's a track car from the factory not a drag car.

It totally depends on the track and the conditions. I've never seen an R do better than low 15s at Atlanta Dragway, and I doubt one could do better than maybe a 14.8x on a perfect run there... BUT that is at ~1200' elevation, worse than normal traction, normally 95+ temp on track, 80%+ humidity, and if there's any breeze, it's usually a headwind.

I have a 96 VTEC and I have beaten a Type R. He bogged at the start and I was able to get half a car lead on him and kept it. He had intake and exhuast and 17 in Racing Harts C2's. I had intake/header/exhaust and 17 in Sparcos.

If I knew how to post on this board I'd show some slips of a TYPE R.
My buddy has I/H/E & Vtec Controller runs low 14's all day..
a Lude running low14's can take em.. but stock vs. stock no way!
now a stock lude with a LSD, vs stock ITR I can see.

Stock ITR's will run low 14's all day with a good driver. LSD works wonders.

How many preludes can get into the 12's with cams and headwork? hmmmm...

All things aside, owning both, the ITR is much harder to launch from a start as compared to the prelude. I've dragged the lude hundreds of times, and only raced the R in the quarter twice, but the difference is noticable. The ITR has more[edit-make that less] room for failure(meaning, bogging or spinning), the prelude is more forgiving in the launch.

I completly agree with the above comment- the ITR is a track car; not a drag car. I did not spend $26k to beat the crap out of my car. I have vowed not to ever drag my ITR again. Besides, that's why I have the prelude!

on a side note, ive noticed that 5th gear acceleration in the R sucks, compared to the lude. I remember DEMOLISHING a guy in a PY ITR about a year ago, on the way to the poconos. I was in my turbo'd lude, but man did I walk away like he was in reverse.

not to talk **** or anything... but of the 5-6 R's I've raced, (including when I was stock) I've never lost.

I raced a PY ITR, I got the jump off the line and held him at my front tire untill I shut it down at 90. He then gave me the bird and did a ricer flyby.
what a sore loser

i dont understand why everyone uses the term "rice fly by"

if you are ahead.. and you think the race is over.. you slow down. the other guy doesnt know you are going to stop. so by the time he realizes it, he "flys by".

It's definitely a ricer fly-by if you've hit your hazards...

it's a fly by cause when I shut it down, I'm a half mile ahead, and it takes 45 seconds for them to catch me... they know they've lost and the race is over, they just have to "fly by."

sloaccord I have had one hang with me he had a 75 shot.We were even until I shifted to fourth then I walked him.He had his nitrous set up to not run in higher gears for fear of leaning it out on the highway.I am no Nitrous buff but atleast that was the excuse he was using.

Im not talking all stupid...YET....lol but isnt the fastest all-motor car in the entire universe a 2.2 H23/VTEC?

Last time I checked, thats PRELUDE POWER.

Not taking too much away from Type-R B series power...B series motors take the next 9 out of 10 slots for worlds fastest all motor honda's.

You guys want to get stupid? ehhe. I can get stupid.

Its called a 1993 Honda Accord Coupe doing a 13.1 quarter mile with a 100 shot NOS on a totally stock motor. Thats an ACCORD.

Now I am gettign stupid. I am stupified now.

Yes.

Honestly guys, I love Prelude Motors, I have been telling people for a little while now, that Prelude Motors are going to be the #1 Motor to SWAP and MODIFY for the next 1-6 or so years...
