well.. they are heavy, but they outhandel everything besides the type-r stock, and modified, they are deadly. bolt ons you get get low 14's to high 13's and usualy 12's with a tuned turbo. they kinda stayed out of the mainstream because of the price(25k+) but there is a HUGE amount of prelude only sites around the internet.. preludeonline.com, honda-prelude.com hondaprelude.com just to name a few. they dont have the hybrid ability of the b-serise, so you basical stuck with the h22 it comes with... not that its a bad thing, but you cant go overkill on the hp/weight ratio with a stock motor like a civic can. then run faster stock than most people get with their sohc civics after tons of mods. its much more fun to drive IMO than a civic or a teg. the styling is awsome too IMO
