    Euro handling vs 5th Gen Prelude

    Has anyone here driven or owned a 5th Gen prelude? How does the handling compare with the Euro? Stock vs stock.

    Greyone has a 5th gen, while her mum has the Euro. She can give you a nice comparison. In my opinion, you can turn faster with less understeer in the Prelude.

    LMAO aaron
    hwo u know i was gonna answer to this
    :P

    then again uve driven my car so u can make teh comparision too

    handling wise stock to stock
    i actually like the feel of the euro better
    maybe cos the euro is alot smoother then the prelude driveing normally so it feels like your in more control

    depends alot on the tyres ur car is runnin too
    right now me and my mum are runnin pretty much the same tyres quality wise alot of people say the prelude handles just abit better...

    and the steerin is slightly more accurate compared to the euro
    hence aarons comment about being able to turn faster
    umm maybe i shoudl take both cars out for a fang again and get back to u

    I was very surprised that the Prelude could carve a very nice 90 degree corner with little fuss. A stock Euro would have rolled a little first and then cornered in with tyres screeching. Stock, the Lude has stiffer suspension than the Euro. I really did think that my Euro's handling was shit after driving your Lude. LOL

    I've changed my suspension and alignment since that time and now I can turn better, sharper, harder and also adjust the steering wheel easily mid corner to adjust my line. Now, the limiting factor is the tyres, not the suspension.

    the lude also has a flatter lower stance than the euro.

    Your maths might be a little bit flakey mate
    They're both porky bastards and weigh in at pretty similar figures, however the euro in several generations ahead in terms of torsional rigidity and design.

    On paper, i'd chalk up a euro victory.
    fwiw - It's been ages since i've driven a fifth gen, but i seem to recall it as feeling fairly similar to my almost stock chassis dc2 vti-r. The euro is heads an shoulders above any stock dc2 vti-r, i even had quicker wakefield lap times (in the euro) to prove it, stock for stock...
    And so it begins...

    the number of doors does not determine how good a car handles
