Unless you want four-wheel steering...

For years I wanted a Prelude with 4WS, but oddly, you needed to choose between that and VTEC. I wonder if they were somehow mutually-exclusive.

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.

Canada, Europe, and Australia all had 4WS VTEC models, but not North America or Japan.

Well, have fun. I am going to read a textbook.
