Regarding Prelude v Spg, I dunno. Related note: Among my group of friends, one has a sleeper 87 900T, crapola exterior but engine somewhat modded, somewhere around 200, another has a 93(?)totally stock Impala, somwhere around 260 and another has a 92(?) SHO, the Yamaha v6 eng, bad rings and all gaining at least 10 hp from the copious amounts of yellow paint on interior, calipers and SHO lettering on rear bumper. Memorial Day weekend we all went out fer sum spee-dee drahvin. Off the line (~10 mph, 3 abreast hiway), to about 30, the Impala, with lsd, and gobs of LT1 torque was mindbending fast, sho was close but fwd skiddage sabotaged its effort, the Saab tried hard but was stuck waiting for the turbo to blow hard. However when I hit 2nd in the Saab I crept up and eventually pulled the sho at about 5000 in 3rd. The impala kept its lead till about 80, when it hit the wall. I crept, pulled almost even at about 100 and then listened to the the wee shoulder mounted angel. Later, on the northway, going to Lake george we tried similar games, rolling start at ~60 mph; `twas no contest, the boost gage headed east, they saw my ass over and over again!
