Gen5 VTiR vs. S15

VTEC != Turbo

If you're talking about a stock S15, then there is virtually no lag...

well it's been retold that the vtec hold more than the S15 in 1st and 2nd gear just edging forward but then the turbo lag kicks in and jumps forward at every gear change.

H22A is 147kw and 219nm @ 5500. But it just wont compare to the torque the SR20DET produces 147kw and 265nm of torque, to help lug it off the line.

That, and as stated by ben before, it's RWD.

You can't compare the 2 cars!
You can compare the S15 to a WRX or a Supra!

Even with "V-Tec" it is no match to either car above!
An S2000 would go closer then the Prelude...

fellas fellas fellas..

you guys seem to be looking at the figures too much! i know it does contribute but think, with S15 being FR and the lude being FF launching from stop and gear ratios of each matter alot.

on paper the S15 is undoubtably faster but on the road the lude isn't that far behind.

How close is the integra type r vs the prelude?
The ITR is about half a second behind the 200sx which would equate to about 1 to 1.5 carlengths on a quarter mile.. i have never gone against a 200sx from a standstill however from rolling was about equal (neither car pulled)...
If the ITR cant beat the 200sx, the lude will have no hope..

The s15 200sx has no turbo lag, just heaps of torque down low, with the h22 or any other vtec engine, you need revs before it hits its powerband (vtec lobe) by that time the superior torque of the turbo engine will have a decent lead and the prelude wont be able to catch it..

hmm.. my friend has a gen5, can't launch for peanuts but he jumps ahead of the S15 coz of vtec..

oh well..

ITR/Prelude
- The Prelude has 30Nm more torque than an ITR
- Prelude's get's beaten by ITR, big factor is the Preludes bulky fat of an extra 300kg
- I couldn't even keep up with booget's VTi-R, let alone a Type-R

Prelude/S15
To sum up:
- S15 has MORE torque than a Prelude
- S15 weighs another 200kg LESS
- S15 is RWD
- S15 will own, assuming that both drivers are equal (as with all races).

ITR vs S15 would be a better race to watch.

Just add a few breathing mods to the S15 and it'll rip the lude, even with the same mods.

Stock for stock....I haven't been in a VTIR lude, but I've been in a DC2R and I still reckon the S15 will rip that straight line.

someone with a vtir lude go run a s15 and see what happens :P.... my bet is on the s15 hhehehehe

I did my VTiR Vs a Spec S GT (looks ugly with big "factory" wing I reckon) yesterday on President Ave @ Miranda.. I win, but S15 had 1 passenger and might have been auto... but I still won (by not a lot, could have been driver related). So yeah, VTiRs are quick, but a totally different car to an S15...
