VTEC is so lame. All it does is upset balance unless you keep it above 6k at all times. And that balance upset is not worth the extra 2 hp bump you get.
S2000 needs an LSx ASAP.

I agree.
I remember in high school when I got my 98 civic ex with VTECCCCC I bragged about it with its 127 blazing hp.

This.
When I think about it in operation it makes me laugh. Great idea back in the day but today's systems are so much better and fairly seamless.

Yeah I hated advertising it when I had my Si. I went so far as to peel off the i-VTEC stickers on the sides of the car and debadged the Si emblem on the back. I stuck a DX emblem on for laughs.

Yeah back when the NSX first came out it was ingenious... but infinitely variable valve timing systems have been out since the late 90's now
