Yeah really. I agree, why are they going to all this trouble for 10bhp and a little more torque?

I doubt you'll see much of a price difference. Incremental changes rarely result in this.
And for the nth time, I see little evidence that iVTEC makes any more than an extremely modest difference in the engine's torque curve vs the std VTEC.

i-vtec introduces variable cam timing (used in many high end performance engines) that allows the engine to produce power in a broader a range.. you can get low end torque without sacrificing high end.
Sounds to me that the S2200 will be an improved car in many ways.. hope the clutch/transmission is better.

Speculation over preliminary numbers is a bit of a waste, we will just have to for the release. If they were able to make the handling more forgiving at the limit along with the broader power range the car may just gain some international acclaim that the original could not.

Cthree, please re-read the first line of my post, I specifically said I DON'T know, that this is my opinion. It's only what I think. It just seems logical to me, I have nothing to substantiate it.

More specifically, i-VTEC expands on the standard VTEC by continuously varying the intake camshaft (relative to the exhaust cam) by as much as 50 deg.!
