i have owned a 98 prelude sh and i currently own a gsr. i prefer the gsr. everyone will have their own opinion on everything. stock for stock, the prelude has more torque, but in the quarter mile i believe the gsr would win. the prelude does not have the gearing to be a fast track car. now a h2b prelude is a nasty setup. i find my gsr more fun to drive than the prelude was. just something about it feels better. the rpms seem to rev more freely and to me its just more fun. i have more suspension work on my gsr than i did to the prelude so im not going to comment on which would handle better because i dont know how the prelude would do with the same modifications. i do know that i got a lot of body roll on the prelude however. i like the way the integra's look a little bit better; but both are well designed vehicles.
