Ouch!
Was out last night with some buddies and a Prelude wanted to race, so I said "Sure why not?" Launch seemed kinda awkward as it felt like the back end was slipping around for 5 seconds or so, but after that it was ***** to the wall acceleration. It turns out everyone knew of the dip at the end of the road except for me(asses didn't bother to tell me) so I hit this HUGE dip at 90 or so mph and the car litterally goes airborne and comes down hard. The back tires were a good foot in the air and i came down hard on the nose(it's really scraped up) and the exhuast piping got a nice little chunk taken out of it. Everyone said sparks flew like no other and it looked like something off of Fast and the Furious(not a compliment to me). Anywho it was quite scary and I'm suprised it wasn't damaged more than it was. No more street racing for me, be careful out there guys.
Btw I won, silly honda.

i did the same thing, but i was going 120mph at night with a friend, there was just a slight bump on the road, i guess we kinda flew, because another friend of mine was driving behind and saw some sparks, but that was when i first got the car, i don't do that kind of **** anymore in this car, and i don't street race anymore, i have 10 points on my licence, and i swear, there is this particular cop that follows my superblack enthusiast around town, he is either tailing this lemans performance or my car, just waiting to get me again(he has already stopped me 2 times). I hate pigs.

Shouldve raced when your familiar with the road ahead. Anyway sorry to hear what happened to your car. I got this dimple dent on the rear wheel well area. I have no idea how I got it. Sh*t bothers me a little.

ouch is definately the case... even though i am out of streetracing and have my z on order i have a prelude =X but there is no comparison... the z is a much much more powerful car and no way a medium modded prelude would beat a z unless the driver was horrible...
but be careful that you only race where you know what all is going on...
