Since I competed in one for many years, I thought hard about this one. I'd
think such a move would also have to include all 1st ('79-'82) and 2d
('83-'87) -generation Preludes, including the '86-'87 fuel-injected cars.
The 10 extra horsepower were offset by enough extra weight that there's
little difference in performance. The SOHC 3d ('88-91) -generation cars
would have to be considered, too, although I think there's a stronger case
for keeping them in E Stock.
