Wow, I could have sworn it was 1997 all over again. Haven't gotten into a Prelude v. GS-R argument since around then. What's next a Civic Si v. Prelude argument? Celica GT-S pissing match? Regardless they run 15's in the quarter and .8's in the skidpad and blow up when you mod them. If you're buying it to mod, a standard WRX would beat the crap out of any of them. If you're buying it for commuting the GS-R gets better mileage and the hatch holds more. If you like the coupe style, solid handling, and low end torque get the Prelude. Regardless, the punk thieves make your insurance expensive as does the morons who decide to race them out on the streets.

Loved my '99 Prelude but they're are better and faster cars out there. Got tired of worrying about the bitch ass thieves who ought to get curbed.
