It's basically a 2-seat convertible RX-8 (that gets better fuel mileage).

Here, vtec boys ruined the brand for me to be honest.

Never understood hating a brand because of other people's association with them. I've never been a "Honda boy" or "VTEC boi", but that didn't do anything to damp my enthusiasm for the S2000, which is probably the only Honda automobile I'll ever own.

Actually I hate that word "vtec" because Honda wasn't the 1st to invent variable valve control, nor did they do it the best.. But they did do it smartly, and marketed it good il give them that

Again, ???
It works brilliantly. Great performance for a 2-liter from 0-6000rpm, outstanding from 6000-9000. The only gripe I have is that the transition should be at the rpm where the torque curves meet, but instead it transitions at a higher rpm than that, so you get a "kick". Kinda gimmicky and not optimal. But in reality, I'm always below 6000 on the street and always above it at the track, so I practically never experience this.
That someone would hate that they call it "vtec" because "Honda wasn't the 1st to invent variable valve control" is puzzling to me...
I don't care if they call it "Honda's stupendiferous valve lift/timing changey mechanism", it works well, allows great in-town response and tremendous pull at stratospheric rmp as well
I am glad there are no VTEC stickerz on the car, though...
