so i raced my brother last night, which was completely unfair...
it was a rolling start from a green light going up a hill.
he had his heavy ass luggage in the car along with his girlfriend... i only had myself in my car.. :chuckles:
so it goes like this.
he slightly pulls on me in first gear up until i hit my Vtec YO!!! from then on i was gone and pulling away slowly. by fourth i was about 2~3 car lengths ahead. end of story
once again my brother had a huge weight disadvantage, about 200lbs+ to be exact. i'll run him again this weekend to see exactly whats up along with some video footage.
his car pulls like a beast and handles like a champ, i love driving it. lots of low end power and you can feel the acceleration unlike my car. only negative is that i didn't like his low redline (~6200rpm) and you can't feel VVT-i engage like my Vtec YO!!!..... damn, i need to get me a luxury car one day.
thanks for all the input, much appreciated..keep it coming

the whole point of vvti/vanos, etc is that you don't "feel" it

Yup.
It just serves to make a very flat torque curve, if i remember correctly. The celica GT-S 's have VVT-L or something like that, showing that they vary lift as well as timing, resulting in a vtec-like torque jump.
Anyway... good story, and good race. Keep it coming.
