the funny thing is that recently soccer moms in vans have started given me hard looks, and i dont wanna waste my gas or energy. So they gun it hardcore and i drive normal and keep up. Then they give me even harder looks.

Ok guys what would our car roughly run in the 1/4 if we shifted right at vtec everytime?? The reason for me asking is that i dont vtec at every light, and I was just wondering without doing so what kind of times are we looking at? It seems like a dumb question to me but im curious.

Take any car and reduce your normal shift point by 1/3 and see how good you do.

The point of the question was. How fast are we accelerating when we arent using Vtec.
