If your in to road racing and autocross you know what I mean... theres nothing more annoying as a sudden power spike right in the middle of a turn. (Be it V-Tec or Turbo lag...) of course the S2000 guys have it much worse then us. most of the time I dont even notice the change over..
btw you think its bad with your car

My car will literaly spin the tires if im up in the revs in a turn and the VTEC engages, so inconvinent sometimes

vtec is awesome an yes i think is fun when ppl tak about vtec as if it was a turbo or something... if they say that is because they dont know anything bout cars specially hondas so why teach when ur not getting paid to. let them believe what they want to plus hey if it was a girl saying that to you hey maybe she was hot and trying to make conversation so i would go on talking to her agreeing to what she says lol
"VTEC talk" new way to break the ice..

I changed my wire cover with one from the lx so it just says HONDA instead of HONDA VTEC. People get all excited when they see something with vtec. Maybe Honda was the first to invent something like this?

Actually, I believe that without vtec our 7th gens would have 115hp. It's called an LX.

it feels like nothing...and yes it is little, but if you race an ex vs lx you can litterally see the vtec.

When will you people realize V-TEC is nothing more than a crutch to enhance fuel economy? The car runs on "econo" mode all day, and when it senses you need more power, engages V-TEC to further open the valves, and adjust timing. If you were smart, you'd just get the controller, and leave it on all the time.

I think it is wonderful that we can count on senior members to correct our occasional typo's and grammar errors. You must be a busy guy.

my vtec gives me an erection. but if you were to use a controller and turn your vtec on all the time it would damage the engine because the oil pressure wouldn´t be high enough. however if you got a blow off valve for you vtec you could have it running at idle )
