Who did the work to your car?
What is done to the Prelude?
Why not go to a track if your scared of a ticket and cop issue's?
This isn't the Fast & the Furious, your 'rep' isn't important.

just pretend your on pinks. let up on the first race then bet him for some cash. then let him have it. preludes are junk and he does not even have a turbo? just waste him!!

As long as it isnt a dohc vtec you should smoke him no problem.
And really if it is a stock vtec that shouldnt matter anyways.
Bump your boost upto 14 psi (better have a good aftermarket boost gauge), get a good launch, and if you are any good at racing then you should smoke him no prob.

you should have no problem with that car. shift your auto manually and you should have a better pull too. i always got better times at the track when shifting my 3 speed manually.. but dont over shift it ;)
