VTEC works fine. just feel somthing holding the car back at low RPM acelarating
low RPM?

that would uh, be the absolute lack of torque the s2000 has.

what was the last car you drove that you're comparing it to?

happens to me too. its just what it seems like. on the highway your car will be at 3k+ at a constant speed and its easier to speed up. in city driving your rpm is lower and the lack of torque the s2000 has makes it feel like its being held back. but if you venture off into the 3k+ zone youll see that theres nothing holding it back except for traffic and speed limits.

I get the same feeling too, but the car has good days and bad days.
