GO TEST drive it and stop posting these gay threads. or you will learn soon you are a no one.

Get the z i used to have a super charged ponitac it was real fast had it modded though i could never give it up one test drive on the z and i wanted to throw it in the garbage even though the mod potential on teh pontiac was so much better i never regret it when im doin a 125 and it feels liek 85 miles lol i love the z

Its RWD so it handles better than any stock or modified prelude. It looks great, once again better than any prelude. And its a hell of a lot more fun to drive than a FWD 4 cyliner honda. Come on man, why not compare the lude to something in its class like a celica or a scion. Maybe you can get a better vibe from an eclips forum?

Hahaa, you former Prelude owners crack me up.
Yes, the Prelude was a nice car, and still is, but it is not in the same class as the Z.
Kind of like comparing my old FD to my old 4th gen VTEC.

One thing that should be noted. The prelude is a great car. I have owned quite a few hondas. The last one I owned was a 94 Hatchback Si. I must say, even though the Z is a stronger, faster, and better sports car than most honda cars....the civic FELT faster. Small, light car gave the illusion that it feels fast. So if you get in a Z and it feels a little sluggish, just remember your honda is lighter and the Z is a SOLID sports car....making speeds that would make the honda feel like its haulin a$$, actually feel like nothing.

When i got in the Z, i coudlnt believe how tight the chasis is. Like when i press the gas theres no feeling of the rest of the car is being left behind. I was driveing a Honda Civic before.
Also the breaks man, wanna stop on a dime? you dont realize how crappy breaks are on a "normal" car until you get into a real one.
Honestly i feel its safer to drive the Z than a econo car. When i need to move fast or break fast the Z does it.
