aw man... We were buddies. But...
I'm not an imports only man. But stock to stock (mustang to prelude) prelude wins hands down. Even dollar for dollar with modifications, 9 times out of 10, the prelude will be an all around better car. With my stock single cam (original engine from the factory in my car) with a turbo, BTM and injector controller, I out ran an '03 GT with a twin screw. From a dig, from a 40 roll, through turns, in the straight. And I had about $2000 less in my mods than the mustang owner.
I'm not saying mustangs are bad cars, I mean come on, they sound so bad ass! And they can be great handling/performing cars. But not for the same amount of money. So please don't say that mustangs "own the street" like no one can touch them.
Disclaimer: I'm not arguing cobras/svts/gt500s etc. Those aren't stock mustangs.
Oh and western, you forgot 2 of my favorite race ludes:
Brandon Kraus' USTCC Prelude
And the JUN prelude
