Prelude SH vs. MSP vs. 330CI vs. MR2T

:
2001 Honda Prelude Type SH
Usually I don't post races, but I find this race very interesting..

It's a big, 2 lanes (going each way) street. The MR2 is at the light, in the left lane. The MSP is on the right of the MR2. I'm behind the MR2, and the 330CI is behind the MSP.

It's right after class, so everyone is trying to hurry home. There's not a day that I get out of school without racing, so here it goes..

The light hits green and the MR2 takes off QUICK with the MSP. I had a pretty good launch and was on MR2's ass. The 330Ci seems a bit lagged behind the MSP, but hanging. Soon after taking off, the MR2's engine began smoking, so she tries to swerve ahead of the MSP to pull over. The MSP swerves in front of me ( they switched spots ). At this point we're going about 60mph and I'm less than half a car length behind the MSP, and the 330CI is right next to me. The street splits into a 3 lane, so I swerved left and hit 3rd gear. Soon the 330CI caught up and we were all lined up. Near the top of 3rd, at about 80mph or so, I began pulling ahead of them. It seems as though the top end of the MSP isn't too good, or the turbo ran outta breath. The 330CI honks and slows down to make a right.

I continued to floor the car until I hit about 120mph or so, pulling at least 3 car lengths on the MSP before I flashed the hazards. I thought it was an interesting race, since 4 cars were involved, and that was the first time seeing a MSP in person. I love the glittery paint..
:D
 
Oh, and a few pics I took the next day at school....

Doesn't look like the MSP is broken in yet, considering it doesn't have plates yet. How many miles are on t?

One of the reasons why I don't post my kills is because the flame gets kinda hot. As for the MR2 comments, the MR2 is only quick during take off. My friend recently got a JDM SW20, 240hp stock. He took me in for a ride and showed me that it's only quick for the launch because of it's stock 2 way LSD, but as for the top ends, the turbo runs out of breath. He plans to do a turbo upgrade soon so we can race and see how bad he'll smoke me. But yeah, right now he's running 17.5 psi on stock the stock JDM engine, pushing about 320hp at the rear wheels..


The MSP is definitely not broken in yet. I pretty much left the guy standing above 80ish, so I think the MSP is only quick at low speeds for the launch; probably because of its LSD? I don't know the driver personally, so I don't know how many miles is on the car.


I can't wait to get my G35.. muahaha.
 
I had a 1991 MR2 turbo when they were new. I never found that it was slow at high speed. But it was 10 years ago the last time I drove it. (yeah I'm that old) :D
 
My MSP is broken in and my wife hates the fact that I can pull so hard on her top end (well anytime for that matter) Once we get a free flowing 3in all the way back, FMIC and boost controller I shouldn't be so bad
