I was on my way home from work in my prelude (93 si) when this red Vtec roars out behind me cuts me off and turns onto a dead street puts his hazards on and comes to a stop. I pull next to him and he revs at me and from a full stop we both go at it 1st and 2nd we're pretty much even, 3rd I start to pull a little, by the time we reach high end 4th gear the Vtec is owned! Normally I would wonder how the hell I pulled that off but we pulled over and talked a little and from the looks of things he was a highschool ricer.
Basic convo-

Him: Phat whip yo, is that a VTEC
Me: Nah man a Si
Him: Damn yo that shits dumb fast yo, it got NOS up in there?
Me: nope jus I/H/E
Him: Damn son I know I should have gotten an Si
Me: Why? your puttin out 30 more HP than me and your engine can rev higher
Him: den why mah shiet lose?
Me: don't blame the car for the drivers mistakes.
Him: Whateva son, check you out yo.

Or something like that haha

I was considering a H23Vtec swap, however the light increase in displacement isn't worth the time and money... and I do believe his car was a vtec. It had all the tell tale signs.... Leather seats rear speaker between the back seats, Vtec sticker on the side and a 8.5 Redline. He really couldn't drive. Im actually contemplating on selling the prelude and devoting my time and money towards the 240, but I love her too haha im so indecisive right now.

haha update: I was at a gas station with a couple friends on our way to a small local prelude meet when I see the same kid pull in for gas. He comes out and says "oh I thought I remembered your car" I had a subtle grin on my face and was like yea I think I remember you too. Then the mutha fuka was like didn't I smoke you a few weeks ago?? I was like uhhhhh if I recall I took YOU by a little more than a car length. Then the bastard was like oh really? like a Si can take out a VTEC im pushing 30 more horse than you and I can stretch out my gears more. I started to get pissed and was like MUTHA FUKA I TOLD YOU THAT SHIT THAT NIGHT!!!. Then I calmed down and was like listen we're gonig to a meet you wanna race i'll throw down 200 bux right now we'll go down there and do it in front of everyone. he agreed and proceeded to follow us to a local diner where everyone was meeting. After the diner we went to this secluded industrial area lined up, from the start he was clearly over-reving. When we launched he had traction issues and by that time I was already like a half a car up...through second I had little to no gain....3rd gear I was gaining a few inches through 5th gear I was a little more than a car length ahead of him. I shut down turned around and stopped I collected my money and he comes roaring back. Yelling fukin car!!! da fuk just happened!!! and I told him again hey don't blame the car blame the driver, everyone was like ohhhhhhh shiet!!!!! got dissed. Come to find out later that night it's true he really DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE overreved his launch and was shifting 1500 RPM before redline.....lmao

damn guys, that guy has to be a really shitty driver. You should of told him for another $200 you will teach him how to drive. Those honda guys really are little cocky motherfuckers, instead of learning how to drive they sit in their driveways and just hit vtec all day long.

Haha damnit imma Honda driver!! but I know my limitation and how I drive...then again I don't go talkin shiet to everyone just because I have a Honda and think I have the fastest car in the world. haha and yes civics look up to me like the 240 looks up to the Z. Speaking of which I gotta get my 240 back on the road.....

You know that almost all hondas and for that fact most cars don't make peak horsepower at redline. I think a H22A doesn't makes it's peak hp at 7600 rpm , now i'm not positive but i know it's not 8250

Doesn't mean he houldn't be shiftng at redline. the power loss with the derease in rpm on a vec motors is dramatic, and provided you are still making good power, the longer you can stay in the shorter gear the better.

You own a Honda and you don't even know that the Prelude VTEC has a redline of 7500rpms??

There is NO WAY an all motor KA24DE can hang with a Prelude VTEC. Hell, I raced my friends KA24E in my Si 160hp Prelude and I still beat him with no problem.

Sorry man, I own both cars. There is no comparision between the KA24DE motor and an H22 VTEC motor. That's just a fact. I give credit where it is due, not taking sides.

The all motor soc Ka24e with the proper work done,no turbo no nos, can take out the factory h22 motor.But if both cars are factory stock the h22 is a faster motor.Who has these cars factory stock anyways.Seen it and did it!
