VTEC... wtf is it?!
Maybe i should have asked my dealer wat it was before i bought it... but wtf is it and how is it any different than other cars. i read it off wiki n all i saw was blah blah blah -.-

its a variable cam that opens only 12 valves until 3400rpm and then opens all 16 valves for more power in higher rpms and great fuel efficiency at lower rpms.
#4
more power. i assume your in an auto because of the sports mode thing. i think the vtec kick in spot is differant than the manuel.

yea sumtimes im just too damn lazy to shift or i want my arm out da window i only drive in sport when i want to stay in the high RPMs, auto blows cuz of the "play it safe" stuff and its too "jumpy", like it would go from 3000 to 3500 in a jump, were as sport, it would climb up there (3100 to 3200 to 3300 so on)

the Vtec in our cars is garbage and dosent really have a real RPM that it kicks in at like the older civics and stuff that it would only kick in at 3500 or so iv read in some other posts that somone had a vtec light in a fit and the light was on most of the time wail driving above and under 3500 so im not sure what the deal is with that.

It requires reading and perhaps I'm asking too much!

The article is cool but might, in fact, require a Redbull to complete. I'm being sincere when I'm saying tomorrow might be a better time to read that.
I own an 08 so I might be ignorant about the 09s. Does the 09 use I-vtec? I thought it was going to but I might be way off! It is getting late and my memory's going offline!
