I can't VTEC half-way... I VTEC all the time... but it never only to 7000rpm or 8000rpm... I HAVE to take it up to 9000rpm once it's engaged

Its like the 9k mark is magnetized whenever it hits 6000

I remember one old dude who had a sweet white/red S2000 and never hit VTEC. It was his cruiser. He eventually sold it, but nobody believed he never hit VTEC.

VTEC'ing to only 7-8K RPM's is like my aviator (Keith Richards) only getting a little buzzed. Sometimes you have to

all the way until the brink 9K.

If you want to have a big

, then just do it.
