My F22b1 was like waa,waaaaaaaaa when I hit VTEC

My H22a is waaaa, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

YEAH NOW COMPARE AN OLDER SOHC VTEC VS. A NEWER SOHC VTEC... YOU DONT EVEN FEEL IT IN THE NEWER ONES HOWEVER IN THE OLDER ONES YOU FELT THE CHANGE.. NOW DOHC DAMN THATS POWER.. OH WELL I DONT HAVE ONE

vtec on the RSX is noticeable for being a newer motor. i imagine its the same way on the new SI, but i haven't had the chance to drive that.

vtec kicks in at 4?!?! really? is that vtec?!?! i thought around 5-6... that's where i feel sorta fast... haha

i am speakin about 6th gen kords of course...

is that really when vtec kicks in on 6th gens?
