that orange car 5th pic down

[Soren]

aw benny give him a break heh, cant expect everyone to be pullin runs in the 15s :p

although doesnt he have the same engine as leo? i have no idea what he has modded though

[buh_buh]

no, he does not have the same engine. Leo's is a SRV which has 190hp and "Hate Haters" Prelude is a S, which is 130hp.
His best time of the night was a 16.92 or something. And yeah Soren your right, only the elite can join the 15 second club (or the 14 second adjusted club, haha)

[RiceCake]

hahaha.... still props to kenny and the 100 mph club and the exclusive 13 second club <bowdown>

Benny you only wish you had a car like that! Hate_haters car is the nicest done prelude in calgary by far. He also ran low 16's (>16.2) last year and might have broken into the 15's but I can't remember.

[kenny]

I agree, Nick's prelude is very nicely done up, I like it. Did he change something since last year or was it just him not being used to launching/racing the car down the 1/4 since SS just opened this year?

[5.9 R/T]

No, that whole crew had a bad night, cung (sp?) (turbo acura 1.6 @5psi) ran a best of 16.9 I believe. I think nick has something planned motor wise for this year, it should be interresting to see what he cooks up.

Edit: SS was open last year too.

[kenny]

Oh yeah, I know it was open last year, What I meant was, its only the 2nd SS of this year and maybe Nick's first of the year so he might not have been used to launching on the slick race city surface.

[5.9 R/T]

Man I love this speed. I'm not sure what the problem with nick was, I heard cung was having traction problems all night and he's an auto, so nick was probably having the same problem. It was a fairly cold night which doesn't do much for traction.

[RGAGT]

Yeah It's To Bad That the Prelude Looks good but doesn't have the go to Match Just Joken

[shadowz]

Hey Kenny thanks for the comments your car is dope as hell!!! and Benny I dont know what to say to you, but as for traction it was bad, my tire was almost flat on my winter steelies, and yes last year my launches were way better but I did get a.504 reaction time!!! but next time will be way better with more air in my tires

Yes the Prelude is very nice and attractive but it is not the nicest in Calgary IMO

I can think of other Preludes that were nicer, for example my old Prelude! haha

I think Bobby still has the nicest Prelude, all show, all go

I think only LUDELVR and buh_buh are the only ludes that have broken into the 15's this year.

Stand-By!
