I'll tell you right now, Ford50's jeep WILL own you. My pos car, running 16.0 best with the setup I ran him with, from a 55 punch, was dead even till 90ish. My car stock could take rice cause of it's torque. Down low, off the line, it would have been a slaughterhouse, but the jeep was enough to give my pitiful stock smogger a run from a roll. The prelude with less than 140 HP WILL NEVER BEAT FORD50's JEEP, TRUST ME. We have done a LOT of runs in it. It can't lose dude. An old prelude runs about 17s/18s....Ford50's jeep is a strong runner. It's pretty quick LOL.

dude... 17's/18's in a lude? i dont even think 1st gen preludes ran that slow. my car does 14.9 stock. i SCREAM top end. off the line will be the best race, after that... im going to pull... and fast. it is FWD and lower tq, but its manual, which can be launched better than the best power braking. build that tranny to launch and its a different story. i can launch it on cement though, the drag surface owns my tires and engine mounts(wheel hop). the 2 just dont like each other. im not gonna say well i beat a 14.3 secodn car on the street so i run faster than that though, i will tell you, i run a 15.0@96.5mph by my trap speed you can see i cannot get off the line, i have the worst wheel hop in the world cause of my 17s(refer to my other post to why) you can say that a 140hp prelude wont loose, but dude... i owned one, and i beat 4.0 jeeps. i do not doubt he can beat preludes at all, dont take me as a person who says magazine X says this and magazine Y says that so this cannot happen, because i know more than anyone its all about the driver. my times suck cause im not good at launching my car on the track.you ran daed even with him and you run 16.0's i REALLY dont wana contradict myself with the difference between stree/strip but people can get the prelude s's down into the 15's(15.8-.9) with intake and exaust(what i had) just want you to know it IS possible. there is no BS flags on your story, i just wana set this strait. a 4.0 jeep vs a stock prelude S i will say is a good race, considering its 5spd. if its a autmoatic prelude... hands down, jeep.
