1998 (or 97 or 99) 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 (or 97 or 99) acura cl 3.0 or 2001 honda prelude? Performance wise?
The power is about the same. Overall performance the prelude would be better with more aftermarket support too. Even it has 2.2 it came out of the factory with a higher tune you see that the hp is identical to the 3.0 six. The coupe also has only 2doors giving it a more rigid body for handling. You can get more hp out of a bigger engine but do your research on how many companies actually made aftermarket parts for the 3.0 I bet not as much as the prelude, Integra or Civic.
