Since the break-in period is over, I Vtec my car everytime I drive...

My analogy is the following:

"Having an S2K and not taking it to Vtec land - i.e. beyond 6K RPM - is like having a beautiful girlfriend and never taking her to bed..."

Nuff said

I don't use VTEC on my NSX. I make sure I shift at 3500rpm...5000rpm MAX. I don't want to damage my engine.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I ONLY VTEC when I'm driving.

VTEC isn't a NOS shot. Its about half your RPM range. If you don't use it when accelerating you might as well be driving a Civic.

If you're driving "aggressively", then you should never go out of VTEC range- so effectively you can say you VTEC once and you leave it there.

Vtech sounds like a symphony? no offence but I always thought it sounded like a weed-eater.
