Not an answer, but i would take the prelude. I love those things, dont see them often anymore.

hahahaha, u should flag the other guy!, anywyas, i think you should go for hte Honda since its cooler and everyone i know has the eclipse, no joke. But if you get the eclipse, look for one that is pre – souped up, so you’ll have it even faster, cause everyone does that to their eclipses -atleast teh older ones – the newer ones suck. but ya def go for the prelude, good luck!

A turbo doesn’t matter if you have enough HP without it, in fact turbos can make cars harder to drive because the power curve’s so distorted. I’d go with the Prelude as well, partly because I like the look but mostly because that 1997 was made right during the time when Mitsubishi was having a lot of issues with quality control. The Prelude’s likely to last longer with less money in repairs.

the honda is going to be a more reliable choice but is not going to have the performance capabilities of the eclipse…
not sure what your goals are for the cars but keep in mind that the eclipse is going to most likely break a few more parts than the prelude especially if driven hard… not to say that prelude is bullet proof either…
I think weight wise the GSX is making more out of its bulk the late model preludes are quite heavy for the amount of power they produce..
if its a daily and only light mods will be done go with the honda but if you know what your doing and are looking to go really fast the GSX may be a better choice..
