Mr. viking-101, what you've just typed is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I love that movie
i find it funny that people are bashing. Yes he could have researched and found the answer. But in short Honda was the first to come out with VTEC. AKA Variable valve timing. They have been using it for years. The other auto manufactures have just in the recent years caught on and basically VTEC has been refined in VVTC. The difference in the older honda systems that use a VTEC solenoid and a second set of rocker arms that open up at higher RPMs (Insert vtec kick in here) Is that now the engines use VVTC all the time. Hell i had a car at the shop that had Dual VVT. (try doing a timing chain on those cars). So in short is it the same? Yes and no. Its the same concept just better designed for power and efficiency throughout the powerband.

The only reason people here hate on VTEC is because, due to the lack of driving ability of most average SS/SC owners, the new Si has a rep of being neck and neck with the SS/SC. We all know this to be false under ideal conditions for both cars, but that's irrelevant on the street.
I has 2.4. I has VTAK.
But really.. This thread:
Truth. haha Since I have intake and exhaust, I'm about 105..
