Is it true???????????????????

:rolleyes: I dont know if you guys have talked about this much, but is it true that Honda is killing of Preludes and that the gen 5 is the end of the line?????? What will this do for resale value????? and what are we to be replaced with???? Please not integras.

one more time, anyone!:bloated:

There's probably a post on this already if you'll do a search. But yes, it's true, they are killing off the Prelude. I think that 2001 was the last model year for the Prelude. As for a replacement for the Prelude, well in my opinion nothing could replace it. I think they believe that the RSX is going to sale to the same market that the Prelude would have.

yes, 2001 is the LAST year they made them. They discontinued it because sales were not very good, and Honda was losing money from the Preludes, so they stopped making them.
Hopefully the 5th gen will become as rare and famous as Supras or RX-7s.
But I highly doubt that'll happen

This kid claims that Civic SI's are faster than Preludes, and that Preludes are all weighed down. He said there was a 1995 Prelude VTEC getting Dogged by all the Si Civics with B16's. I Don't believe it that must of just been a slackin Prelude VTEC..:confused:
I used to have a 95 Saturn SC2 with a 2 1/4 with RS racing bomb that killed SI's with or without aftermarket parts. It's too bad that Saturn was one of a kind. Personally my EX keeps up with Si's

First of all, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with anything? And plus, what year of Civic are you talking about? I doubt your 124hp (that's the higher model) Saturn SC2 could've "killed" a 160hp Civic Si (the newer ones). The old Civic Si's only had 125hp, so its pretty even, and I wouldn't be that surprised if you could beat one. Even with your RS racing bomb, it would not give you that much hp to beat a 160hp Si.

watch your language please

and i agree with buh_buh, where did this comment come from anyway? what "kid" are you talkin about?

You just don't know about my 95 Saturn. It was a legend. The intake resonator was for some reason removed before I recieved the car so it sounded like a plane engine. Then I put a 2 1/4 cat-back to a muffler from a car club in a RS Racing box. It looks just like the RS Racing execpt for the tip. Maybe the box just had a different picture. But on the way home from the exaust shop I got rearended by an ugly Lexus RX-300. Fortunately, I still got to drive the car for 2 months before it was rendered totalled. I beat it and after two weeks amazing changes happened. The exaust kicked in. This DOHC 95 Saturn SC2 spanked 160 hp Civic Si's. As a matter of fact it spanked 4 other Honda's all lined up at the red light. Two Civic SI's were on the left (Red and Black) with intake and exaust. The other two Hondas were a VTEC accord and a VTEC SOHC Civic EX (with no air filter, nice sound). The Saturn killed all four honda's and by 3rd gear no one was in sight. This Saturn saw no ordinary Civic. This Saturn dogged B-16's and had no governor and all gears became sick after the simple exaust job. The kid who says 99 - 00 SI's are faster than 94 Prelude VTEC will tell you that my Saturn killed SI's. And this kid (19years old almost 20) believes that the B 16 in a civic will kill the H22a in a Prelude body. Nowhere in the world is another Saturn like the one you just read about. The Saturns I see now are slow. And it is dead. If I were to do other modifications on that car it would have been incredibly sick. I think the Prelude h22a 94-95 will kill any B 16.............

That Saturn would have made a good candidate for Turbo. I had no gas, it ran out, and I had octane booster. I decided I was about to get rid of the car so who cares. I used the octane booster as gas. The whole front end of the car picked up while white puffs of smoke came out of the RS Racing muffler. At that point that car was crazy. And guss what, the Saturn DOHC still purred for all the miles I drove it after that :bandit:

K, WHERE IS ALL THIS COMING FROM??

did you just decide to go into a random thread and start ranting about nothing? And by the way, I understand why the guy who thinks b16's can beat H22's also believes your Saturn can kill 160hp Si's. ITS BECAUSE HE'S CRAZY!!

And I also doubt this Saturn could beat VTEC Accords either. What year was this accord? Maybe you thought it was a VTEC because he just stuck VTEC stickers on his car. Or maybe you thought you beat him because he had already killed you, and you just decided to blow by him after the race was over, or maybe he didn't even know you guys were racing. Because I highly doubt your Saturn can do all that.

:monkeypis

why did you post this in this thread? and if i ever lose to a stock civic si, someone shoot me

The reason why that person knows why my Saturn beat SI's is because HE DROVE IT and oficially declared it a rocket. And he was driving the VTEC Civic SOHC and he has a lead foot that can double clutch faster than you can blink an eye. Guess what.....believe it this Saturn was this fast.........It is true and no lie. The first time he drove it, it was stock and he said it was incredibly slow. Then I got my Cat Back Hooked Up. After the exaust kicked in after three weeks he got that second ride and changed his mind.
I Know It Sonds Like a MYTH and it may daffle you but I had the one and only FASTSATURN that beat many, many, many, many Civics and Civic SI's. I should have made video's.
But that person swears that SI's are very quick and that SI's beat Prelude VTEC's.
That person says Civic SI's with modifications VS 94 Prelude VTEC with modifications, he says SI's are faster because they are so light. This person says a Civic SI with exaust resonater removed, intake, power steering removed, synthetic oil, etc will beat a 94 Prelude VTEC. He tells me this because I'm buying that car and swears that SI's are faster. I still say I'm coppin a Prelude and I'll beat him again.:bloated:

Is It True.......Yes my SC2 was for real and it would have dogged your Civic SI DOHC VTEC too!!! It's the one and only and you cannot compare it to other Slackin SaturnsKickin Twin Cams :silly2: When I had that car everyone thought that I rubbed it in too much....................

Of course this person believes that if you put a H22A in a Civic then of course it's out. He just thinks that Preludes are too weighed down compared to Civics. That his whole argument that when you have a hooked up SI it will beat a Prelude with H22a

after listening to you ramble on about stupid, pointless and irrational stories, I have come to the conclusion, that you are merely stupid.
I'm not going to argue with you anymore, because frankly I think its not worth it. Any half educated person would know all of that stuff you said is not true. So would somebody close this thread?

I know what's up with my things. If you can not believe that therewas one Gold 95 Saturn that could squash 99-00 Civic Si's ohhhh wellll you should have seen it.
As for SI's beating Prelude VTEC's. I think it's a load of crap....I believe Prelude VTEC's will kill a Civic SI just like my Saturn did. I never got to race a 4th Gen Prelude VTEC with my Saturn wish I could have. I am just trying to make sure that the myth about Civic SI's being faster than heavy Preludes is false. I don't think SI's are that fast since my Saturn killed them and my SOHC 1.6 L Vtec Civic EX does a good job of keeping up with them.
I laughed when This person told me that SI's are faster than Preludes. This person said he knows someone with a 94 lude vtec that was getting dogged by civic si's. I guess that was a slackin Prelude :rolleyes:

after listening to you ramble on about stupid, pointless and irrational stories, I have come to the conclusion, that you are merely stupid i second this...what in Gods earth are you talking about? that, and what in Gods earth are you talking about??

dude what the hell is your point? ANY car can be modded to be faster than a h22 jesus christ. My moms van can become faster than my h22 if i chose. HELLO?!?!

and as for your super fast saturn, do you have timeslips? If you had this super saturn where thje exhaust kicked in after 3 weeks! (/me giggles), why not get time slips on it..

I was wondering if it was true if there are a lot of Civic SI's (DOHC VTEC) beating VTEC 94-95 Preludes.
I was talking about a specific race where my Saturn killed 1 1995 VTEC ACCORD EX (Stock Intake Disconnected), 1 VTEC CIVIC EX (Stock Air Box disconnected, yes just the rubber hose), 1 RED DOHC VTEC Civic SI, and 1 BLACK DOHC VTEC Civic SI. BOTH SI'S HAD INTAKE & EXAUST
The Accord and Civic EX already knew they were going to lose against my Saturn. Put it this way they we're racing the SI's and not me because they already knew I would kill them. I wasn't racing the Accord or EX; I was racing the SI's and I killed them. Neither have a governor, I could have raced the to 145 if they wanted to. My Saturn had a hydrolic clutch so it chirped gears pretty nastily. Believe it or not a plastic Saturn with 1.9 Twin Cams killed whatever type of Civic you could imagine. By the way SOHC VTECs aren't that fast..they are for what they are, but the DOHC is what makes a Honda out
I have a very fast SOHC 1.6 VTEC Civic, but it no way compares to the speed of my Saturn.
Sorry that this confuses all of you.
:confused:

Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were younger?

:huh:

I've heard enough already...
Del, can you just close this thread so we don't have to hear this guy talk anymore? I'm getting dumber just by listening to what he's saying.

An unfortunate accident happened on the way home from the shop where I got the Exaust hooked up. A Lexus RX300 plowed into my rear end............So I only got to drive the car for 2 months afterward until insurance claimed it. So I never got to do timeslips or anything like that....Just Raced a bunch of Hondas and did a lot of Race Fishin.
My first reation to the Exaust was that I wasted my money, then after a couple of weeks the car got used to it and it started dippin......I realized that that exaust made my car sick. I guess exausts have to kick in and let the car get used to it....

Ok, stock vs stock a civic si will not beat a vtec prelude, equal drivers ect.

:rolleyes:
