Default Racing a honda prelude, what should I expect?

I got up a race with some ricer honda prelude tomorrow night. Has the typical winged out, white rims, and fart cannon. What should I expect? Do I have a chance, or am I gonna get my *** handed to me? Anybody got a clue? I don't know much about these cars, but I think they're faster than the slow *** civics. Let me know, I have a buddy with a bottle just in case. Thanks

Not sure but I think its an si. I hear its ok(it barely beat my friends 96 silverado with 350). It isn't for money, but I think I may get the bottle just to be sure. I'll post tomorrow and tell you how it goes.

if the prelude just barely beat a 96 350 then you should smoke his ***. those old school trucks are damn slow.

...fart cannon.
HAHAHAHA. I call them grapefruit shooters or fart pipes.

You'll probably wax his ***...I mean you do have torque. Bring the bottle incase that little 2.2 VTEC is on the bottle also, but chances are you won't need it. I've run into a few of them in the past. I ran one in my Automatic WRX which has MAD turbo lag and still cleaned the pavment with the Prelude.

Got the bottle hooked up. Checked the race spot a few times, but typical ricer no show. I went by walmart and saw the prelude in the parking lot. Went inside to see if this was gonna happen. Finally saw the guy(can't miss a ricer boy)with the typical import car t-shirt on and visor cap. Noticed in his hand a fresh dvd of 2 fast 2 furious.(Guess he wanted to do a little wishful thinking) He said he had "stuff" to do, but he would catch up with me another time. Kinda sounds like a cop out to me. What do you guys think? Anyway, spent the rest of the night taking off the loaner bottle. I really need to invest in one of those. I hate wasting my time on rice.
