What would be faster/better to have? An '89 Prelude or a 1st Generation RX-7? I like the older body styles, but I'm wanting the faster of the two. I personally think it's the RX-7. What do you guys think?

I personally think it's the RX-7. What do you guys think? Texas89LX 08-23-2002, 07:28 AM well the RX-7 is RWD, which would make it more fun for autocrossing and such... and that would make it my pick theyre both slow. my friends 89 ran a 17.7, and im sure based on riding in the first gen that its hardly if any faster 08-23-2002, 08:43 AM the rx7 has an endless supply of extra parts as long as its not an engine Uglymexican19 08-23-2002, 09:23 AM yeah go for the 7 91lx 08-23-2002, 11:23 AM The RX-7 leaves room for some interesting motor swaps: Supra engines, SBC, SBF, 13B TT, etc. RWD is nice too Texas89LX 08-23-2002, 12:08 PM it takes some fabrication but you can swap a B-series into a older prelude like that (i helped my friend with a B16 swap into his 86) 91lx 08-23-2002, 12:42 PM There are lots of options either way. Hey Ken did u see the new MMFF with the 03 Cobra 12.01@118 with a Pro 5.0 and blower pulley. I had a question for you what kinda #s do you think Systemax II and a A-trim would push on a 89 LX?
