You seemed to miss that ALL small capacity N/A engines suffer from the same problems that vtec do with a lack of midrange power (or worse still dont even have power up top either), so I felt it wasnt a very well expressed sentiment specifically about vtec engines, would suit me personally better if EVERYONE hated vtecs as I could buy them cheaper then TBH so not really a case of me caring if people like them or not, but i'd prefer if posts were accurate, and the way yours seemed to be singling out vtec's as lacking in mid range when its ALL small capacity petrol N/A engines I felt was misrepresentative thats all mate
