When I said "mighty VTEC" I was being sarcastic. I've not been impressed with the VTEC fours that I've driven, which would be a 99(?)Prelude, a 2000 Civic Si, and a 2004 Civic Si. I figured they'd have awesome low end and awesome top end, which would seem to be the point of variable valve timing. Nope, they still had crappy low end (the Prelude wasn't so bad) just even MORE top end than a regular high-revving four.
yea the main advantage of having my engine (since all DOHC VTEC's have very high redlines and revlimiters), is the fact that i can hold out gears while other people are shifting twice.
a good example is the Spec V, all of those dudes that i raced were shifting 2 extra times before i was done with 3rd at around 90.
as far as crappy low end, my throttle is only crappy below 3k rpms, which is almost like 0 on my tach, and i keep the revs up even with daily driving so it sounds like a beehive coming down the street.
i think a 4g h22a1 lude or GSR would change your mind about VTEC
