True story, the NSX was targeted towards a specific group of people. When it came out it was way ahead of its time. Later on in life it should have evolved more but the NSX never needed crazy power to be fast.

But the NSX did make 270 bhp in 1991
and in 91 the prelude made I think 130-145hp


, and went out of production in 2006 with 290 bhp.
you could be correct on that. I know they moved up to a 3.2 liter in 97 and that 3.2 number might have confused me.

None the less the Prelude never impacted the NSX's sales If anything honda made, it was the S2000 that might have impacted NSX's sales

i dont hate on preludes, the only thing i didnt like was my prelude motor in my accord. i did a JDM H22 swap, and had the head built with skunk2 stage 2 cams(its in my TRgarage), and that thing still ran in the 15's. i try not to hate on anyones car, unless they hate on me first.

accord95- i dont know what was wrong with your motor. my jdm swapped automatic 93 lude with i/h/e and high-flow cat beat a 14.7 cougar and aj187's 14.9 crx.
my current car ran a 15.0 completely stock on bald tires and that is a stock jdm h22.


anyways... besides the point...
whenever i tried to trade my old ludes on here i always got negative feedback but when i posted on autotrader to sell i got much better responces. i also got alot of good feedback when just posting pics of my ludes not in regards to selling/trading. for the most part i hear that everyone loves the styling of the ludes but no one wants to tune them due to the weight and h/f motors are "harder to work on".
