    My Name is Max and I film while driving cars. No matter if they are old, fast, loud or electric. They need to be special! With several onboard cams, I record everything important to show you High-Speed-Runs, Acceleration tests ( 0-100 kph / 0-200 kph / 100-200 kph / 200-300 kph ) and test drives on German Autobahn or Road. Please note, Germany is the country of "no speed limit" highways. So in some places, it's allowed to drive very fast. But please don't try this if you are not an experienced driver !!

    I had a 2001 Prelude MT for about 15 years. I absolutely loved that car and was incredibly fun to drive. I would argue Honda's 2.2L VTEC I4 is in the top 10 best engines ever made category.
    What I definitely appreciate is how it had 214,000+ miles and still drove like it was brand new. Just incredible.

    It's amazing how much speed they were able to squeeze out of just 133 hp back then. A low weight and light/small wheels and a fairly aerodynamic and low profile (unlike today's for the most part much taller vehicles), combined with no dumb electronic top speed governors kicking in, made it possible to hit impressive speeds despite just 133 hp.

      A little silly comment's here. Today's Jazz has the same motor performance as the above Prelude, 130HP and a much-much lighter car. And today's Type R is much-much better than the old Integra or Civic Type R. It has a real sporty engine, while VTEC is the poor man's "turbo". I don't understand the nostalgy, today you can buy much better Honda cars for the money.

    My dad had an '86 Si when I was a baby, it had a racing transmission put in after the original gave out, all parts replaced with performance parts, went toe to toe on a highway with a 911, blew through the camaros and trans ams of Dallas Texas.

    very impressive for 'just' 130hp shows how good a coupe style is for allowing speed.
    Also very short ratios, guessing its the same box as the 2.2 which rev to 8k not 6.5 lol
    I always discounted the 2.0s because i thought theyd be alot slower than this showed. and now theyre classics and nowhere to be found. oh well

    I'm on my 3rd Honda and my first was an 88 Prelude Si 2.0. I still miss that car. It didn't have a lot of horsepower on paper, but you really felt it when the VTEC kicked in. It was the handling that I really loved about it though. Probably the most agile car I've ever owned, and the low-slung seating position made it feel more dramatic. It would have been a blast to drive on the Autobahn. I studied in Germany in 99 and was on Autobahns a few times, but only as a passenger and my friends had tiny economy cars, like Fiat Puntos and VW Polos that felt like they were going to fall apart every time a BMW or Mercedes swooshed past. That's how I learned to swear in German. lol
    Hondas really are amazing though. It's wild to think that Soichiro Honda started out as a mechanic selling piston rings to Toyota as a side hustle. He came up with the idea of hooking up the motors from surplus generators to bicycles and that was the birth of Honda Motors. They didn't even make cars until decades later and now look at them, making some of the best cars in the world. And that aforementioned 88 Prelude had 250k+ miles on it when I sold it, and my friend that bought it said it was still running great when he sold it with more than 300k miles on it.

    Had an 01 prelude SH up to 140mph/225kph. That was on a curvy river route and the Superior Handling isn't a lie. My buddy said lets test it out so I floored it. Had some downhill help from 125ish to about 135 when road leveled out. But it wanted to keep going and we did lol. We started counting up in what seem like 1sec intervals with excitement in each count 135! 136! 137!!.... Creeping into 141 I let off didn't have the courage to go higher that was back in 04 and fastest I've ever driven at the time. That car will forever have my repsect for that drive.
