NOT N/A??! .....paaaaahahahahahahaha, you absolute slavering retard.

And I have a good friend who has vtec controller on his car to have vtec come in earlier. It is all about the engine oil pressure. Never denyed they are good engine and very well desinged but like I keep sayin I personally and my personal opion I think they are overrated for what they actually are and they have a device that makes them rev higher and for longer hence giving it more go.
Yeah there should have been a rule that Honda could only have a 6750rpm limit on their engines... because the fact they have built reliable engines that come with a c9,000rpm rev limit is just plain cheating?!

It's 'vtec' you fucking plum, it's even in the title! 'V-tech' make kids toys!
Beat me to it, I was planning an almost identical response when I read it.

Correct. I went from a c300bhp Impreza Turbo to a 175bhp Civic VTi and the first time I was out in the Civic, my mate in his ~140bhp Civic drove by me without any hassle at all.

Nothing I've liked more than getting out onto a nice, quiet, twisty road and exploiting the full 4,000rpm rev range of a TDi..... errrrm, no. For a daily commute and semi-exciting car, some modern TDi cars are quite good, but for a fun car that begs to be driven properly then Honda VTEC/TypeR stuff is difficult to beat in my experience.
My Civic Type R didn't struggle to pull itself round the speedo:
