LOL.l google.com.au is my friend

use it and find out o-100 times. 1/4 times there we go. use a Prelude h22a if u cant find any times . or better yet. check out the timeslips here.. then look on wrx australia LOL

H22A prelude is same speed as B18C2 VTi-R Teg.

VTi-R teg is slower than WRX.

Mate as much as i love hondas i would guarantee that a wrx will beat an accord or prelude with a h22a if both cars are stock. Other than the very first shape 94' model, there is little lag to speak of and a flat broad and bloody big torque curve. A wrx would beat the accord just as easily in roll on as it would from a standing start. If you picked 50increments to do the rollon from and to you would be lucky to find one that the accord will win. I have seen many rollon tests in magazines and 3rd 4th and 5th gear any rex in the last 8years would have no trouble beating a prelude at all. There have been reviews with the prelude vtir vs rex vs 200sx and the prelude was beaten easily by the turboed cars. Also reviews with wrx and type r integra show the wrx win every time (and before the arguments of torque advantages of the h22a, the gearing of the type r gives similar torque at the wheels anyway plus its lighter. Read..faster and still loses by a decent margin to the wrx)
Like i said, i love hondas but really there are more reasons than straight line that i like them for. They are quick in their own right, they are very well made, handle nicely, ride nicely etc etc but a wrx WILL beat it in acceleration tests. But like i said 'who cares?' I mean its interesting to know and i understand why you ask the question as everyone loves to get comparisons like that but the answer is simple, the rex is quicker. But the accord is probably a much better car to drive to the coast and back.

"H22A prelude is same speed as B18C2 VTi-R Teg."

i dont think the VTi-R teg is as strong as the h22a. ..
yous must be talking about the aus spec h22a

stock type Rs can beat stock wrx's rolling start

**smoknhothonda** · 01-06-2006 05:05 PM

But seriously how many stock WRX's are out there!

I have a few mates with them, and I know for a fact they are damn quick street cars with just minor mods (FMIC, ECU/CHIP, Filter, cat back exhaust) = 180kw at all 4 wheels on a conservative dyno.

I doubt a N/A H22A would come close to that, but compared to a stock WRX Im sure a H22A would at least somewhat keep up.....

it depends on the driver. The h22a in an accord is very capable. I have seen it with my own eyes lol.

also a h22a prrelude is going to be slower than a h22a accord as the accords usually are fitted with the jap spec h22a engine which comes with closer ratio gearbox for improved acceleration, an LSD and uses the jap spec ecu which is tuned for 100 octane. the 4th gen preludes are 190 hp and the equvilent jap spec ( where most of the front cut engines come from) are 200hp.

go look in the timeslip database- j-specs accord has pulled a 14.4 which is faster than a current model WRX and even faster than older rexes.

No way in hell h22a accord will be able to beat a WRX.
I had a Prelude Si VTEC before and now have a MY05 WRX and the difference between the two cars in terms of sheer power and acceleration is chalk and cheese.
