Please explain.

You basically have 2 tires doing all the work from one end of the car.
It is a lot easier to break them loose and be totally out of control.
My Prelude can get pretty squirrely when you are driving it hard.

As a teenager I always wanted a Prelude. The 4WS was revolutionary back
then.

The Mitsubishi 3000GT/Dodge Stealth was the next one but it was also out
of reach financially at the time.

A friend of mine who actually had two PhD's at the time bought one of
those Dodge Stealth's thinking that it was going to be a pussy magnet.
About 6 months after he bought it he said that the only people attracted
to the 3000GT/Stealth were 13 year old boys.

I didn't buy the 4WS Prelude. It was a such a different feel when
changing lanes on the Interstate but, you could turn one around in
little more than its body length from a stop.

The 3000GT looked better than the Dodge IMO. They were ahead of their
time technologically. That VR-4 produced 300hp in a fairly light car.
