The prelude would get killed. The camaro RS, whichs the weakest model has a V6 3.8L engine pushing over 200 horses. The Camaro SS, which my cousin has with the Xenon body kit, has a cool 325 horses out of a V8 5.7L Engine. My cousin got a intake, exhaust and dropped a supercharge on the engine, the car is pushing more then 500 hores!!! (the total expense was only $6000). It has a beautiful body as well

Supercharger? are you kidding me, it takes some serious stuff to add forced induction to an LS1, too much compression and the internals are not that strong, i think that would cost some more

Wow, there's a bit of assumtions being made. Apparently "which one?" Means, "Which ones faster?" Good call guys. Well I guess its back to a matter of opinion more or less, but I'd rather have two wicked sounding turbos than a strained supercharger. I'd rather have a more fuel efficient car for everyday driving. I'd rather have this:

Yeah, I guess it comes downn to a personal prefrence to style, or lack there of. I've read about Preludes kickin' out over 400 hp with alot of work, so I don't really see why i shouldn't be able to take anything Camaro stock. Anyway, I've grown to dislike the Camaro in many aspects. I've seen more than I wish to coming through my work at McDonalds. Too "white trash/spolied teen " as I've said before. Yeah, diffrent minds, diffrent thoughts. So the story goes, we can't all agree on everything.

The camaro/firebirds are great cars but i'd rather go with the honda, more comfortable more trunk space and better reliability, and if you take a stock camaro versus a stock prelude the prelude would win :shock: why? cuz youd probebly run outta gas half way through the race with the 5.7l v-8 or the 3.8l v-6. :P :P lol just joking but the prelude would still win

I dunno about that, stock? I sorta doubt it. Anyone know the solid figures?

Aug 28, 2003, 1:18 PM
The Prelude would lose, because,
Cost to modify a Camaro SS=10.000
Cost to Modify a Prelude with weird ugly useless shat=50,000
in the end==
Prelude= 450hp
Camaro=600hp
for now, Ellis Juan (Ell-Is-Juan=LS1) all the way :D
Raith83
Aug 29, 2003, 2:33 AM
Wow, thats just simply a useless argument.
#1 you're not giving anything specific and throwing figures out for the modification costs.
#2 you simply don't like how the custom Perlude looks, so you're gonna be a stupid jerk about it anyway.
#3 Even if I did spend more on a Prelude, I'd take it over a White Trash Camaro! Do I need to reenforce this statement anymore?! I know who the majority of Camaro owners eat, McDonalds. Cause I work there! Nine outta ten don't take care of them, they can't read too well apparently, and their english is barely decipherable. I don't wanna be associated with those people in the least! Neither with the other half of the owners, who are asshole spoiled litle Highschool kids.

I have one question for the people who choose the Prelude: What are you smoking? It must be good, because it is really affecting your ability to make rational desicions.
The Camaro, by far. The last gen prelude could barley make 200hp. I remember reading an article on a prelude meet. the fastes on did high 12's. HIGH 12's. The fastest (based off of a stock body) camaro i've seen did low 8's. modifying any camaro is much, much eaiser than a prelude. This is due in part to the many products available, and the fact that it will porbaly be a V-8. I don't care who you are, modifying a VTEC might be simpler than a toyota engine, but it's still no easy task . Same goes with a V-8, but it is simpler than a 4 cylinder.
Raith83
Sep 08, 2003, 2:15 PM
I already mentioned my reasons for not wanting the Camaro, and it had NOTHING to do with numbers and figures. Again, Preludes are more fuel efficient, and I like the style INFINITELY better. Those modified Preludes and Camaros are probably totally stripped inside and have a roolcage, racing seat, and gages. I want some practicle tuning and mods done, so my best bet is with the Prelude for selection and price. Gah, I'm not going to repeat myself anymore, I'm so dione with this post!

Ok...I seen this topic...had to reply.....CAMARO'S ARE THE BOMB!!! I don't think the prelude has a chance really....I'm a big camaro fan and know for sure that the 35th anniversery edition has prettty impressive stats....I drove the 35th anniversery edition from a friend who has it, and let me tell u, it's awesome!!
Thlam
Oct 12, 2003, 1:45 PM
like i said the prelude would win: during the middle of the race the prelude would lag but then the camaro will run out fo gas becasue of its huge displcement. and in the end the vtec prelude will win
Mopar68
Oct 13, 2003, 11:28 AM
the camaro didn't get really bad gas mileage! Probaly a little less than the prelude. And the displacement wasn't really that big, i think it was a 302.
Raith83
Oct 13, 2003, 1:20 PM
i looked up some prices on kbb.com and found some interesting stuff. The Honda retained its value so kuch better than the Camaro! A '99 Prelude with the 2.2-liter VTEC in excellent condition and with 60,000 miles is valued at $12,075. Now a '99 Camaro Z28 with it's HUGE 5.7-liter V-8, excellent condition, and 60k miles is only worth $8,000. GM quality sucks, Honda quality is great. That makes a big role in my descision for this topic, even though the cars aren't the best ones to compare :-p Prelude over Camaro and day for me still.

3: gay sounding exhaust
4: my friends ls1 z28 can run high 11s low 12s with 150 shot nos, NO OTHER MODS
(try taht with a prelude, maybe 13secs?)
anways isnt it hard to twin turbo a 4 banger?
how about a twin turbo Ls1?
yea go by kbb
in about 20 years the prelude is gonna be a hot car... :roll:
while the camaro was the modern muscle car will be a legend like the 67-69s.

In regard to turbo charging, there's a reason that large engine's aren't usually turbo! "Four gangers" are easier to turbocharge and it is cheaper and easier to mod the VTEC. Parts are more readily available, not like super speciatly GM Performance parts. They are more expensive because of a higher demand to supply ratio as opposed to the endless supply to a lower demand for "four Banger" VTEC mods. And stop quoting 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, we've already established that is doesn't matter if your car is faster if its going to fall apart and be a pain in the face to maintain. Okay, so not only does it cost less to mod a Prelude, but it's much safer to to tune it than an already unstabley built Camaro. You are really asking something to go super wrong if you mod a POS GM built Camaro. Ah, I give up. I'm not gonna post anymore, I've said all that's needed to be said.

unstably built...
everything thats not japanese is unstable: how about honda trannys going bad at 60,000 miles? (accord, prelude, legend)
yea the POS camaro will be worth less in the future compared to a Legendary prelude
LOL
how many races does the prelude race in anyways?
and if its such a good car why doesnt the japanese game Gran Turismo 3 have it?
speaking of demand, so that means many people want these parts, meaning it not rare
too bad i like to be original not a dime a dozen

Camaros are not POS, they are great cars, not for everybody, but all the people who buys them cannot be wrong, they power delivery is a hell lot better than a turboed four banger, and even if GM quality sucked at that point it has certainly improved, and camaro wasnt so bad either, maybe a cavalier, ok, but camaro was way better, at least in the highest trim levels.
Thlam
Oct 22, 2003, 5:40 PM
the only differenc ein the higher trim levels were engien size and interior cloth seats changed to leather which made a BIG differenc ebut what i really hate about the camaro is the lack of rear headroom, and the horrible center console, but its still a cool car in some aspects

Oct 22, 2003, 9:10 PM
i take back the post i made earlier..in my opinion the camero will have a slight advantage over the prelude when racing, dont get me wrong..i love the prelude but i personally think a stock z28 would be faster then a stock prelude.. too bad they stopped producing the prelude....

I love camaros but way preffer the old to the new, i agree on the tuning but they are both ECU cars so can't fight that one. a V6 caamro probably gets about the same price as a honda although much less power, so i would take the honda for mileage and efficianecy, and whoever said you can't turbocharge an american car? Both are good cars and have positives and negatives, a new Honda vs a new camaro, depends on which models, don't know honda but would love a limited edition 427ci ss camaro! no honda can beat that, it's a throw up, i say camaro just cuz I own one

You can also drop a turbo in a Prelude for 1,000 and even the prices. BTW.. how many miles did the Camaro have on it when ur friend bought it, and what condition was it in? Oh yeah, and Im sure the insurance rates are extremely good! NOT :twisted:

If it was the camaro SS it wouldn't be close race. you cannot race two cars that are so different. oh, and btw, whoever said that they pay $12 a month for their 500hp camaro ss is on crack, because in every other state you would have to pay like 1200 dollars a month.. anyway if anyone wants to find out who would actually win the race...

an SS will never lose to a prelude in stock form NEVER, the camaro is heavy YES, but there hp pushes around 320-340 hp at the wheels, dont forget it rear wheel drive.
prelude on the other hand ****en sucks, u MUST be on crack to think a prelude (of anykind) can beat a camaro ss.
ss can do high 12's on slicks
my bros friends can do low 11's on 125shot nos
& as for an Acura NSX-R, they dont make those yet.
so call it Honda NSX-R

an SS will never lose to a prelude in stock form NEVER, the camaro is heavy YES, but there hp pushes around 320-340 hp at the wheels, dont forget it rear wheel drive.

like i said the prelude would win: during the middle of the race the prelude would lag but then the camaro will run out fo gas becasue of its huge displcement. and in the end the vtec prelude will win
HAHAHAHAHA LOL, LMFAO, ROFL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

w/ 17k in mods for the prelude; you can get it to 500 HP (like i said; ask realm II)
he put a turbo (don't remember; single or twin), intercooler, and a whole bunch of other stuff that i can't remember, completely reinforced the engine and had the turbo running w/ 20 lbs boost :twisted:
w/ some NOS, he got like 10 secs on the 1/4 mile (i'm still not too sure about this; he might have said high 9's) :twisted:

I doubt that time, more like 12's I bet.
It would be a ***** to hookup a fwd car with 500hp from a stop.

:lol: man, i never thought I'd see this thread again! I think that we already established that A) the Prelude is not a striaghtline performing car like the Camaro and that B) most people like the Preludes for style, quality, and other reasons, there's no need to be faster if it last logner with less matinence and you happen to really like how it looks and C) this is the stupiest 'comparo' ever :!:

Your right. What would be a good comparison for great straight line performance?

500hp on a the front wheels is USELESS.
your have to uprade jsut about everything, specifically turn it into a drag car to use that 500hp.
camaro all the way, id put a gm 454 or even a 572 have it fully blow fix other stuff and do some wheelies on my camaro...
yee haaw!

Prelude!
Much more stylish!
Nine outta ten people know a Camaro when they see one. They are insanely common Who wants to be just like everyone else? High technology and modern styling over white trash/spoiled teenager rides. To tune a Camaro would definitly take alot more money and time, whilst the Prelude would be much simpler and less time consuming. From what I can tell it looks to have a lower center of gravity. Cars with a properly placed c.o.g. are SO much more intense to drive.
....But this is just me :mrgreen:
LOL I own a Camaro and I'm in the UK.
So far its been called a roadster
I was stopped by the police and accused of driving a trans am (which I didn't mind!)
Most people here have no JOLLY IDEA what it is. I had another car I used from day to day but it was just NOTHING on my camaro.
I luv my baby!

OMG. I just have to laugh. #1 any of the preludes engine F22A1,H23A1,H22A1 will NEVER and I mean NEVER have near the peak output of a LT1 or LS1. FURTHERMORE they are a pain in the ass to work on when compared to any camaro but a 4th gen. BTW bone stock Z28's from 98 on have been proven to be underated at 280hp. Most dyno 320rwhp stock. Gonna take a LOT of moneyand time to get a lude anywhere NEAR that. You're talking to the ex owner of a Gen 4 lude who really liked it.

did you get the wrong quote or something? you're talking all about power and I never even dreamed of saying that a Prelude could ever match the Camaro in power. In Handling? Totally! In reliability? Unquestionably. In style? Well, that's a matter of pure opinion. There's alot of aftermarket supposrt for ANYTHING Honda and if you know your cam shafts from your crank shafts, you shouldn't have too much trouble tuning it yourself. and if ya don't goto Skunk2 and they'll get you a 200 whp 170 lb-ft of torque N/A powerplant for like 6 grand. If I'm not mistaken, the Prelude is lighter than a Camaro, so for good performance, you don't need 300 hp and more torque than the stock axle can take. Wait........this is the stupidest comparo ever! Why don't you Moderators just delete it?! Anyone who agrees that this is stupid, pointless, useless, and never going to be resolved, say so so this gets deleted! Please :!: I'm sick of denfending my choice when the cars have such different M.O.'s and I preffer one over the other.

Yes, I agree it's really stupid too. Someone lock it.

its 400 lbs lighter then the camaro. reliability? Thats always the choice of most "ricers" when it comes to arguments. Usually because they have nothing else to defend their statements with. Actually why doesnt somebody look up the recall list for 4th and 5th gen preludes. Its not too shabby itself. BTW I'm sorry but a camaro definitely handles better then a prelude At least the Z28 and SS versions.

This thing is getting old....not to mention comparing a Camaro and Prelude makes ZERO sense.
