woohooooo! Yippppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
In your face, civic, yeeeharrrrrrwwww.
<Tom Cruise>yeehhhhhh!!! yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh!! I love herrrrrr! yeaahhh!!!!!</tom cruise>
Seriously though. I won't do it. I bought a 17k car for its standard features, if I wanted something 200HP, I would have got myself a dang 03 Accord V6, 03 Camry V6, or 2001 Maxima V6. I am not going to pay 20k for a 200hp coupe. With that money, I can lease a G35 and be happier (or not).
Besides, I rarely use up to the 160 tC standard HP anyway...

I think only one of the Toyota's iv-whatever-i offers a different valve timing for a higher rev like the vtec (in the Celica GTS I think). Others are just labels for Toyota owners talk crap back to the "vtec" crowd.

this engine uses something that is most likely more like the EP3's iVTEC, which is tuned for better fuel economy vs more horsepower.
the only reason there is a supercharger is without it theres no sport 2 door for toyota. (that i can think of?)
