2.2 vetec

Post by turboestate »

i raced a 2.2vetec prelude down 2 bypases last night.
they sound lush flat out.
he hit the limiter just as i was pulling past. haha
i beat him down both roads quite easy and have it on camcorder
i love the cold weather.. about midnight my car was going like a rocket 147mph on the speddo..140ish i reckon before i backed off.. sure itll do more tho.
any one know the power of the prelude 2.2 vetec????? had jap style plates but not sure if it was an import
cheers shaun

What shape was it? Later ones are more around 200bhp.

There heavy cars though.
