Well last night proved to be quite an experience! Just for the record the ONLY GO FAST MOD I have is a PR CAI, and my car is a 1995 GXE auto. So my friend and I hit the streets in his 2001 S4. I parked my Maxima at a shopping center near by. The 1st race was in the s4 against a 2001 Montecarlo SS, needless to say the S4 beat it with no trouble at all. I asked the guy in the Montecarlo how he does against Maximas. He said he can beat 2000+ 5-speeds without much trouble. Well that didn't sound right so I got in my Maxima and cruised with him till we hit a light. At the start I was only leading by a couple of feet but once we hit 120km/h I had 2 cars on him! He was a nice guy and complemented me on my car. The next race was against a 2000/2001 Grand Prix GT Coupe. I started pulling right off the line without any trouble, at about 100km/h I had at least 3 cars. We raced twice with the same outcome. The last race was very interesting. I spoted two Preludes going the opposet direction. I did a u-turn as soon as I could. One Prelude was a 1997+, the other was a 1994/1995 SH. I cruised with them until we all caught a light. The 1997+ prelude was a 5-speed for sure, because, when the adjacent light turend yellow I could hear him reving (I don't know about the older Prelude since I wasn't directly next to him). When the light turned green the 1997+ Prelude had a couple feet on me, but I was slowly pulling. when we hit 130kh/h I had a car length on the 1997+ prelude, and 2+ car lengths on the 1994/1995 SH. Wow was I happy! After that race I drove home smilling all the way.

FYI, Honda didn't make a Prelude SH in 94 or 95. Perhaps you're thinking Si.

Well I'm in Canada. As you know the badging is different for some reason. Like the Civic SI is the SiR in Canada. I'm not sure what the SH would be? Maybe the Si or the VTEC.
