I was racing a RSX Type S a few weeks ago.

From a second gear roll on from around 40 to about 80km/hr, I had him.. until *click*. It kinda sounded like my electric trunk latch clicking. then WAAAAAAH, and he pulled ahead. What an awsome sound..

doh! hehe.. Guess thats what ya get when you pit a 15yr old small displacement pushrod econo-engine, against a cutting edge, dohc screamer

Yup

hey
In 2k4/2k5 they'er putting in VVT in their new Engine. so we'll see how it goes when it comes out as you can see Hyundai Builds Clones. they Copy stuff and sell it for CHeeper. so they'er gona always be slightly behind the times unless they start developing stuff them selves Funny thing is Mitsubishi has been getting Hyundia to fine tune their engines for a few years. in the lower end cars like lancer, mirage as well as their SUV.

really?! explain more pls...

hah...Vtec doesn't sound like a clicking sound...
On the Ivtecs you can still hear it engage at 5800 (They have revlimiters while in neutral, so you cant hear it there...)Redline is about RSX/S. Anyways, teh vtec sounds fucking goood
Basically, it sounds like standard accelerating, just harder and more intense. Test drive one, and go about half or full throttle through first, and you'll definitly notice it. If the RSX has an intake, you can hear the vtec engagement soooo much louder...Sounds sooooo good. Nothing beats Vtec sound

[buh_buh]

Man I miss VTEC.

[2k3Elantra_GT]

Mmmm I love the sound of my Intake too bad i didnt have Vtec as well shucks hey.... maybe when i get a real job and can afford a real car i'll get something like that

VTEC is overrated.

[soloracer]

Can't say that I really know what V-TEC sounds like.....mainly because they usually are too far behind for me to hear anymore.....

Haha good call. VTEC I will give respect too. Honda was a very smart company to come up and patent it. It is overrated, but just to people who have no idea what it is, or what it does.
I wish my old school engine had variable valve timing. But what can you do

ya I agree...200hp out of a 2.0L is a waste of time

[benyl]

the v-tec change over in my accord is at 3500... sounds cool and I get to hear it all the time. Just wish the J30A1 had more torque where you need it, not way up at redline...
