Prelude vs 305 TBI

Ok, my one friend has a 1991 Camaro RS with the 305 TBI with a hooker catback, my other friend has a 1997 Prelude with the 2.2 dohc vtec. I was wondering who would win? The Prelude is stock and a 5 speed. My friends camaro is an auto.

Car: 91 Camaro RS
Engine: L03 305 baby!!!
Transmission: stock 700r4
Im pretty sure the Lude should take this one.The power is about the same,and the Lude is slightly lighter and has the 5 speed,which is a huge advantage.Im pretty sure its also a low 15 second car stock,whereas the RS is going to be in the high 15's if it only has a catback.Then again,it could be a drivers race.Let us know what happens if they end up racin.

as long as the prelude driver can drive good he has it, this comes from experience with preludes against my 305 TBI.

I Think the 305 stands a chance if they race from a stop and he can launch his car well.

You could beat one with just bolt ons, so with those mods i would think you could hand him his ***.

I'd say the prelude wouldn't stand a chance if they took short sprints for light to light... after 40mph i would say that the lude is far gone... the problem with the lude is that its a ff car while the camaro is rw... it count's alot when standing still... I've raced (don't laugh) fiat uno's with 1.3l turbo engines (120hp-160hp cars that weighs at 900kgs).. i'd allways smoke them from a stand still but after 40mph i allways got smoked... though with the mods that i've put in this winter thouse days a behind me

Btw... the tbi wins in tq hands down... but it does weigh more...
