What ever floats your boat man, if you love it, stick with it, I know I have to live by that saying because not too many people know what a "turboford" is or they talk shit because its a ford 4 cylinder.. and since when does ford make a good 4 cylinder??? lol.. since 1974.. and since the EXP still holds the speed record at bonneville after motor trend took a modded 300hp s2000 they were "sure" to beat it with and failed too.. not to bash s2000's but that is just the car they made the hype about.. I do think they are great cars, but I do think that vtec is over rated by "some".. like you, I totally understand how you see things, but for little kids that have a vtec in a civic and think they have some rocket ship that runs a low 10.. not saying thats not possible, I know it is.. but just for the guys that talk mad trash becuase they have VTEC!!!! , you know?? thats taking the name too far

i think vtec is somewhat overrated....but it depends on who your talking to and it depends on what they "rate it"
i saw a pretty nice ls crx spin through first and second and go into third at around 4k rpms and quickly catch up to a gsr while it was in "vtec mode". i mean vtec does make alotof cars haul (s2k itr) but to act like its the godsend of the universe is stupid.

if you think VTEC is overrated...then you might as well think every automotive Technology Breakthrough is overrated as well. Every automotive company uses the same techonology that VTEC is. Honda was just smart enough to make it a Marketing Edge that obviously beat out the competiton. "Quote Honda Civic, Acura Sales figure Here"

Future - I dont think every thing is over rated, vtec is great and all but these kids that buy a honda civic that has vtec and think its the all mighty race car and they wont have a problem beating anything.. thats a little too far dont you think???
