On a slightly more serious note - You guys do realize that all VTEC is is variable valve timing right??? The Z does have variable valve timing (known as CVTC), and so in a sense does have VTEC, right along with several Porsche's, Toyota's, and the MIVEC from Mitsubishi.

That said, you don't feel it "kick in" the way that you would back in the Honda exclusive days simply because it's been so optimized that it's essentially seemless.
