I believe car and driver rated the Prelude SH the best handeling car in the United States for under $25,000 in 1997.. for all of you that suggest its a boat hah your way off....
However, I'd still go with the GSR as i've riden in some Type R's, GSR's etc and autocrossed a few and their weight and tossability make them specatular. They are a blast to track and easier to mod.
