is this guy for real?

It depends on how you define slow. The RS/GS is not as fast as a GST/GSX. It is not exactly slow. When they designed the DSM they didn't "have to" put a turbo on. They chose to. Honda use NA cars and Mitsubishi use Turbocharged cars. It is not out of necessity it is out of which area of tuning a company has experience in. Like I said, I am not going to get into a p*issing contest with you. You have an opinion, I have no problem with that. You just need to express it better. The NT Eclipse is very close to the lower spec Preludes in performance. The GST/GSX is very close to the VTECH prelude. 195 BHP / 156 lb.ft Torque for a '97 VTECH (Taken from Honda) and 210 BHB / 214 lb.ft Torque for the Turbo DSM of the same age (Mitsubishi figures). So yea, very close off the line. In a rolling start the higher torque would win. The thing about the Turbo DSM is the price for increasing BHP. It is always cheaper and easier to increase the BHP on a Turbo than on a NT.

In my opinion, and I am sure everyone elses on this site, the Eclipse looks a lot better than a prelude. On a honda site the opposite would be true. Just accept that we prefer a DSM to a honda and get on with your life.

Is turboing a car against the rules? Did I miss something here? Next are you going to tell me that fuel injection is lame too, and it's #@%#@%#@%#@%#@% of my car to have it? It doesn't matter what means a company uses to establish the power in thier cars that they want, it just matters how much power they achive factory. Are you going to call everyone with a V8 a cheater because they don't have a 4 cylinder?

Grow up or F*ck off. If you can't respect other people's opinions or prefrences then don't b*tch about them.

For the record I don't hate Hondas. I love my Honda Lawn Mower, and my mom loves her Honda rototiller. My Honda pressure washer kicks a*s too I use it to clean the sh*t off the underside of my Talon.

HondaPrelude, this is a DSM site. There is no need to come in here and try to make everyone believe a Honda Prelude is "better and faster". If you want to learn about DSMs, please go right ahead, but the rules are clear enough - no flaming.

I see no reason why the thread should continue since there's so much arguing going on between one user and the rest of the site.... This one will be locked so everyone can see a good example of what isn't tolerated.
