Careful, I bite!
Not sure which would win in either race, but I would choose the 'lude. Mainly because I have one right now ('98 MT), and they're great. Reliable, strong, fun!
If you're curious why I'm going with the 8, it's because my car is 5 years old, and the MT vs MT bumps up the 8 solidly.

Which tires come on the AT RX-8? The Prelude got crappy all season RE92's so if the 8 has sticky tires it should win at the track.
Drag strip it will depend on the transmission.. Don't forget the Prelude has a "tiptronic" mode so you could shift yourself I guess.. I think auto Preludes did 0-60 in about 7.9 secs.. high 15's in the quarter..
