        Really? ABS, sunroof, and rear discs add that much more?

                  Good question.

                  The 92-96 Preludes tend to be lighter, and the 97-2001 Tend to be heavier.

                  I believe a 96 VTEC weighed in at about 2700LB which is about the same as an Accord LX.

                    1992 Accord LX Sedan - 2857 lbs

                    1993 Prelude VTEC - 2866 lbs

                    With the Prelude you get better seats, rear disc and a sunroof. For 9 lbs difference, take out the spare on the Prelude.

                    It'd a judgement call at this point. Personally, I like how the Prelude looks compared to the Accord.

                    Of course then you have to add in the trouble of finding a Prelude in good shape. The USDM motors had 10 less hp than the JDM counterpart, and far less miles.

                    The again the Prelude had a better suspension stock and better brakes...it's truly a judgement call. If I had my choice between the two, I would take the Prelude.

                      no doubt the prelude has a more beautiful flowing shape, but the good thing about cb7's are that not many tuners embrace this car. hence this provides an empty canvas for you to explore

                              Let me ask this question. Which would be lighter and faster, a 92 Accord LX with the same H22 vtec and the same tranny as a 92-96 Prelude? Basically which one would win the race. The Accord with a H22 motor and tranny swapped in it or a Prelude with the same motor and tranny. It's not about the driver. I'm saying if they were driven exactly the same. What are your thoughts?
