1998 acura cl 3.0 or 2001 honda prelude? Performance wise?

So what wld be better? Like the cl is 250 pounds lighter but i cld take some of that out (ie spare tire etc..) and i wld b modding it either one (headers, exhaust, muffler, air intake etc, MABY in a few years a low psi supercharger or twin turbo) also dont you get more hp out of mods with a 3 liter 6 cylender than a 2.2 liter 4 right? Im trying to decide wich one to get, id def get a manual. I just wanna get the one that is faster and better preformance. here are the kbb specs on it so i dont have to list it all



Acura: http://www.kbb.com/used-cars/acura/cl/1998/retail-value/technical-specifications?id=6140%26amp;condition=excellent%26amp;mileage=142000



Honda: http://www.kbb.com/used-cars/honda/prelude/2001/retail-value/technical-specifications?id=4418



This is just assuming they have the same miles on them. I know about cars but im not a genius so i wanna know wich one is the better car. i like both and i just cant decide and maby someone else knows something better about them that i dont that makes one better than the other?



I also am chooding between these because their both honda (well acura is a brand from honda) so they will be pretty cheap to fix if something breaks.1998 acura cl 3.0 or 2001 honda prelude? Performance wise?
Neither, you are comparing unreliable junque to unreliable junque so flip a coin. They are both going to make you learn where every mechanic in town lives and unless you want to be branded as BORING don't get either since they are both famous for being BORING cars.

Besides, Japanese and Korean quality has been going down hill faster than a rocket powered sled on a greased rail in recent years.

Get American or European for quality and safety, Japanese and Korean cars are pretty crappy for the most part.1998 acura cl 3.0 or 2001 honda prelude? Performance wise?
I love this guy up here talking crap about japanese cars even though Honda, Toyota, and Nissan have some of the longest lasting motors on the market. Sounds to me like you are just biased towards them. I own a 5th Gen Lude with 160k on it. I have never had ANY problems with it.

I wouldn't really consider either a "performance" car, but, while you would in theory get better performance modding a V6, there will be a lot more parts for the Prelude motor, just more popular for the aftermarket.
"id def get a manual"
