i guess not lol i put non-s cause does'nt the supercharge ones have a upgraded suspension.
Yeah but there extra weight kinda offsets it.
But yes, different springs and sway bars. Honestly, it doesnt matter because the Non-s is just as nimple.
I cant wait to install my H&R rear sway bar
Got a MINI?
FUCK your FADS
im gonna go with the mini.
my car /thread

Mini-2, Prelude-1
Got a MINI?
FUCK your FADS
All wheel steering will make a car feel strange through a corner. It will take away a lot of the driver's instincts.
I say Mini.
The all wheel steering on those Preludes is fully mechanical though. The all wheel steering Prelude is the only production car that has ever used mechanical all wheel steering. Its hard to say. The Prelude is an inch wider than the Mini, and several inches shorter with most of the weight lower to the ground. I'd say that theoretically the Prelude should definitely handle better than the Mini, but if you are competing in some form it entirely depends on the driver.
Mini for sure.
Mini-4, Prelude-1.
Got a MINI?
FUCK your FADS
the new bmw 7 series has 4ws i believe, but i think it cuts off at like 15 mhp. It's mainly for parking the sob.
im going to say the prelude cuz i have one myself with the all wheel steering. and im hitting turns faster than alot of my friends an it has the stock springs an all.. but it does get scary when your going like 110 and the rear wheel still turn unlike the newer cars the real wheels stop turning at 40 mph
^Where the fuck are you turning at 110 anyway?
316 headed toward athens when i first got it. i wanted to see what it would do. i know it was dump to be going that fast on the highway but everybody has done it once or twice
lol, dump.

Miata. Wait..thats not a choice. dammit. lol
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
shit my fault i just read that it was 'dumb'
mini cooper. National autocross results in Stock class will prove this...
I'm gonna say the prelude lol
Since preludes are known world wide for their handling right? Wrong, thats a Mini.
Got a MINI?
FUCK your FADS
Wrong. They're both known for handling. Had a 4th gen with 4ws and have 5th gen SH. Both cars has balls
i remember awhile back that the prelude SH was named best handling car under 30k
In 1989?
Got a MINI?
FUCK your FADS
no that was the 5th gen prelude in 1997In 1989?
also
"In 1987, Road & Track published a test summary that shows the 1988 Honda Prelude 2.0Si 4WS outperforming every car of that year on the Slalom, including all Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches. It went through the slalom at 65.5 mph (105.4 km/h), an amazing result for the time. For reference, the 1988 Corvette took the same course at 64.9 mph (104.4 km/h)."
and its pretty unfair to compare these cars anyways
In 1989?
ACtually is was like 1999.
Bozzio for president.
Wasn't the second generation Prelude considered one of the best handling cars world-wide? I'm sure they only improved upon it on the third generation.
The Prelude was the first to have Honda's double wishbone suspension. The Prelude had a mechanical 4WS system that was unmatched. The Prelude was also the first to have a torque-vectoring system. Prelude wins in my book.
Prelude for sure!
if mini has that wing on that i sold him, i say him for sure i was racing a r1 through some turns where i live and we were going about 135 and i swear that was the only thing keeping my rear end stuck to the pavement cause i could feel the car slidding oh and i beat him through the turns he got me on the straight away though lol, gotta love my z though! so i am going to say mini
A reasonably setup car will always corner faster than a bike. As for the original post, the Mini will win hands down. As MatthewAPM said, numerous races/times have already proven this so there is no room for speculation.

i think alot of people that think the mini has better handling are forgetting that this isn't the 2.0si prelude this is the 2.0si aws.. an the all wheel steering makes a big difference cuz i have drivin both makes of the prelude an the aws has way better control
the Mini

Edmunds tested the New Convertible Mini at 64mph in the slalom....that's significantly heavier than a base model non convertible and 67mph for the Cooper S convertible.
Roadandtrack times
700ft slalom speeds
Cooper - 65.2mph
Cooper Conv. - 64 mph
Cooper S - 67.9
Cooper S conv - 67.1
Cooper Clubman S - 67.2
Cooper S WORKS - ???
So the BONE stock BASE MODEL mini is right there with the TOP of the line Prelude. Though i dont see any 88 preludes winning national titles and world praise specifically for their extreme ability to carve up the pavement.
-Super cool .gif TO UNBAN JITB, JM, Buttons AND NEMISIS here-
But when were those Mini's produced?
02+
So the OP is compareing early 90's technology to early 00's technology.
Got a MINI?
FUCK your FADS
thats like comparing a C6 to a C4,ofcourse the mini should handle better
