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... |
Nah I didn't explain it properly at all ay, because reading what you said and re reading what I said, it didn't come out how I think of it
mainly in grammar haha
Sorry
I dont hate vtec because Honda wasn't the 1st. I hate the word because of 10000's of people that brag about it but don't understand it. Who think its be all and end all. That's why
It is a great system and all praise should be given to it, but I know of too many backyard mechanics that trashed their Hondas and "fixed" them but they don't know what they are on about. That's why I wouldn't buy one here. Brand new they were too expensive. 2nd hand and more than likely too many things could be wrong. Nice car, but I also don't like convertibles :p
