16th place for Honda Prelude
2.0Si 4WS /quarter mile : 16.3s / 0-60 mph in 8.8s
On April 9, 1987, the third-generation Prelude was released in the Japanese domestic market and released later that year worldwide, being an 1988 model in North America. Featuring evolutionary styling from its predecessor, it shared design cues from the Honda NSX that would be introduced later in 1989. The third-generation Prelude was exclusively powered by variants of the Honda B20A engine, a base carbureted version with a SOHC 12-valve valvetrain, or a DOHC variant with Honda's PGM-FI fuel injection and 16 valves. One of the best Honda JDM!
In 1987, Road & Track published a test summary that shows the 1988 Honda Prelude 2.0Si 4WS outperforming every car of that year on the slalom, with a speed of 65.5 mph (105.4 km/h), even besting exotics such as Porsche and Ferrari. For reference, the 1988 Chevrolet Corvette C4 took the same course at 64.9 mph (104.4 km/h). The Prelude was Wheels magazine's Car of the Year for 1987. Mid-cycle refresh and Prelude INX
Pros: Drivers say the 1987 Honda Prelude is fun to drive, lasts forever, and looks good.
Cons : The only complaints are about the tiny back seat and lack of cup holders.
