Ack Attack Post 19: Comparison: RSX-Prelude

The RSX is the more affordable sports car in the Acura family. The prelude is the sports car for the Honda line up. The RSX costs much more than the prelude and is used for show much more often than the prelude. The Prelude, on the other hand, is used more often for drag. It does not have as much torque as the RSX and the RSX has a shorter body, making it better for drift than the Prelude. The Prelude is used more for drag racing than the RSX because high performance accessories are more affordable for it and the spacious engine bay allows for more modifications to be put in it.

The RSX seems like Acura put so much time and effort into it that there is not much room for modifications. The Prelude is fairly basic, so Honda has left plenty of room for upgrades and easy improvements to be made.

Overall, the RSX is just a much classier car than the Prelude. The Prelude is more of a "fixer-upper," while the RSX is closer to the final product of what a tuner would want to turn the Prelude into.
