I just test drove a 1997 VTEC Prelude. I can't say I noticed any huge performance gap between it an

    Headlights must have amazing range.

    Isn't it not good to floor a FWD when the wheels are turned full lock?

    did not mean to take to redline, but at one point, I did do it.

    When I wasn't at redline, I was right below red line. Let me tell ya,
    I drove the crap out of this Lude on the test drive. But it didn't
    exceed my expectations. As I say, I may have had my expectation set
    too high because I had some unrealistic idea of the VTEC dual cam.

    sincerely.

    I own a '98 and once it hits 5000rpm it moves. Maybe something was wrong
    with the one you took for a test drive. Perhaps something was wrong with
    the ECU? I know that if the speed sensor is malfunctioning V-TEC won't
    work. I'm sure there are other things that could cause it not to kick in

    No. No. No. You guys. You guys have it all wrong. The wheels are
    not spinning at all in those pics!

    Please take another look. The smoking pictures were not done with oil
    or with the engine revving or the back wheels locked! I would never
    ever abuse my baby like that.

    Beside if you guys were right, then are you saying that this Legend
    1995 GS with a type II 230 HP engine was abused the same way (see pic
    below)? Let me be very up-front and say that NO. Neither the Legend
    (Mint and Rare find because it is GS and black on black) NOR the Lude
    was in the least bit abused during the making of these special effects
    action shots. JUST LOOK AT THE WHEELS. (in the pic, the wheels are
    not spinning AT ALL!)

    here are the Legend pics:

    Let me know if you were able to see the wheels sitting completely
    static and non-moving.

    Obviously without LSD you could have one wheel spinning and the other
    static.

    How do you explain the smoke coming out of the left hand front wheelarch
    then?

    Why "add" smoke after when in your other pics there is no driver in the car?
    are you trying to show that the car is overheating? I dont understand.....

    Also the description of the black car says Peeling out ?

    Are you ok?????
