I don't know, I still have an irrational love for 87-93 Fox bodies and I like the new generation Mustang. I almost worked for Ford when I graduated college, but then I came to my senses  |

^^^You do almost have a point there, I too am not a fan of that model Prelude. I'd still stick with the Honda, at least it has the potential to keep running for another 10+ years...

all mechanical AWS + .34 drag coefficient + 2500 lbs on average + flip lights = 3rg gen prelude FTW  only way they could have been better would have been if they were RWD
probes fox mustangs and SVOs are nice and make lots of power stock for there era, and are easy to mod. only problem is reliability |

i don't like 4th gens besides here even a 4th gen goes for at least 1000-1500 more than a 3rd gen everything is more expensive here |

My buddy had a Probe GT when we were in H.S., and I used to love driving that thing. It had a VTEC like pull from like 4000 rpm to redline that sounded awesome and made you feel like you were going pretty quick. Reliability is the real question though. At least with the Honda you know it's gonna last ya damn near forever if ya just take care of it properly...There were plenty of cars I wanted back then that I'd get royally clowned for these days, who cares
