Default Sweet~~~My First VTEC!!!!!!!

When I saw the Odometer reading indicate 704 miles today, I decided to VTEC for the first time!

Boy was it a thing of a beauty! When the VTEC kicked in @6000rpm the engine roared, and I felt like I was in a rocket!~!!!!

How in the world did Honda manage to squeeze out
240 horses in such small displacement engine!
VTEC RULES!

I love the technology put into the engine as well. I finally bought the Honda S2000 book everyone in here have been talking about by Daniel F. Carney from Amazon.com. It mentions a lot about hollow cams, roller rocker arms and the cylinder walls made of out a material that reduces friction by as much as 70%. All those items and more along with the VTEC system gives us that great roar.

Wow! You held out past 600. I did my first VTEC on the way to my Sunday morning church service.

"Forgive me father for I have sinned. In my weakened state, I gave in to the urge to VTEC and like it!." I'm going straight to hell now.

You'll soon become a vtec-aholic like the rest of us. Good thing you have us as your support group.

Greg Stevens, would you like to be his sponsor???

I held out till 600 miles also! It was very hard, and I did 600 miles in 4 days, but shit, even without the VTEC it was still fun to drive. Now with the VTEC, it is bliss. I now repeatedly ask my wife is she needs anything from the store Merging onto I-95 is now my favorite part of my daily commute
