Default Just hit mile 601....

Holy Crap! I vtec'd for the first time and it was crazy. I think I could get used to this vtec "stuff". I have to admit it's not like a giant kick in the pants, but then I look down and I'm doing 70. So am I happy? well the smile is still there.....

Next up is tomorrow is Zaino. So we'll see if what everyone here says is true about that......

hehe, have fun with that crazy vtec stuff. I've drove quite a few hondas with vtec, and this has to be the first one I've driven where you really feel it most.

Whats really fun is to practice staying in, or as close to vtec as possible as you climb the gears. Which usually means shifting at the 9K mark real fast. *edit* 8k for you

Glad you got to experience the vtec-whoosh.

How bad it for the car to be in VTEC before 600 miles? I am just thinking about all the S2k's that have been test-driven with only double-digits on the clock.
