All these people that are"against" Vtec has not yet state any facts why it is over rated. Beside, " I raced my boys b16...Blah..blah..blah. Compare the b16a to a b18a for a modified stock, the "B" is clearly a better building platform. Yes the b16 has less torque, but it has the abilty to make up for that loss.. Get it right people.

Race a 99 GSR with the same basic mods then tell me its over rated. People can post all the kill's they want but that does not change the fact that a vtec car has more power then a non vtec car. That power combined with the right gearing and drivers of equal skill levels will result in a vtec driver beating a non-vtec driver with the same basic setup. That doesn't mean that vtec is worth the premium you pay for it vs the same money spent on bolt ons.

i don't have to time to read this whole thread. but ppl say it is overrated are missing something.

smart ppl don't overrate it. ppl who don't know what the fuck they are talking about overrate it.

those un-smart ppl think it's such a great thing b/c it's called vtec..... it has the word "tec" or "tech" or "tek" or whatever. just b/c the way it sounds verbally. hell, i'll call my car the accordtec. now it sounds cool and is really fast.

main point is, those who know their shit. don't overrate vtec.
