I was talking about you and that LS hatch guy. Spraying is fine as long as I can put a bottle in the S2000 as well.
On that car and driver article...I agree with everything that it says except two. It's quarter mile timeand to less of an extent it's lap time. 14.7???? I've ran almost a second faster than that. The F20C along with almost every other Honda motor is very sensitive to proper engine break in. They shouldn't even be brought into the upper VTEC cam profile until 4-6000 miles. That motor had barely 1000 on it and it was on the race track. The day I dynoed mine 4 other S2000s dynoed as well. I pulled 196 stock and 208 with the V-AFC tuned...most stock S2000s were in the low to mid 190s. One particular S2000 that had only about 1000 miles on it turned 170 something. Thats a big differance. To say that VTEC is over rated is just bullshit. Go ride in any other n/a 2 liter and then ride in mine. You know why mines faster? VTEC. VTEC allows my car to have an aggresive enough cam profile up top to turn those big numbers.
But shit maybe you're right...Maybe all you highschool kids kow more about building motors than Honda does......get real guys.

ummm I do not remember saying that I could beet everyone, please show me where I posted that.
Maybe you should see the face I made after the statement about raceing and see that it was a joke, maybe you should grow the fuck up and learn to read.
Now the guy thats started this thread did not say that VTEC is pointless, just overrated, and you have to admit that alot of people think that because they have VTEC they can take anything. I never said it was bad, just that its not as good as alot of people make it out to be. I personally think that its a very good idea that they came up with, just overrated.
