Not trollin, legit lookin for info on how to race

If you look youll see i asked about a month ago about if i should get a prelude or not

Step 1: Go to a track.
Step 2: Don't expect power from an economy car.

you basically described the relationship of power to weight to horsepower and top speed

Simply put...

The car is 2700 pounds, so it doesn't take much power to propel it to 100mph. Anything over that, it requires much more horsepower for added acceleration.

The lack of horsepower is what kills your top speed.

But keep the racing to the track.

Well getting to 100 takes forever, after 60 my acceleration goes to shit


Also to guy above its got an engine swap and a couple mods done to it, what else can i do before turbo/ecm shit?

its all about rpm keep it from 2500-3000 rpm on the highway what ever gear it is so be it.

buy a new car that's faster

top end power on a prelude? idk, whats the top end power of a hamster?

figure that out and you got yur answer.


idk why people want to mod cars that wernt meant for performance to start with.

the amount of money you would spend getting it to where a factory performance car is stock, you coulda bought the performance vehicle and made it faster, for less money.
