How does the SH (super handling) system on the newest generation of the Honda Prelude work?

The SH system is awesome!! It works by transfering power to the inside wheel in a turn. The result is that you are literally thrown into the turn. It's great because front drive cars are prone to understeer but not this one. Drive one on a track. You'll see what I mean.

since your car is the SH model it should be equiped with the (ATTS) active torque transfer system, its the big silver box undernieth your oil filter. That box engages when you enter a turn at a certain mph whitch makes the car pull into the turn for better cornuring. A good way to feel this is to take a on ramp or off ramp to the highway or expressway. I like the on ramps myself. When entering the turn floor the gas pedle to the floor and take the turn(its better in 2nd or 3rd gear) you will feel the car pull very hard into the turn and ease off when you come out of it. I own a 99 sh myself and its by far the best car i ever did own. Its also a good idea to read your car manuel it will aslo help a lot.
