Since this car has a "VTEC" solenoid, the engine can "VTEC" when the solenoid switches over, hence it can be in "VTEC". BTW, I have felt no change in the VTEC when I switched to synthetic oil.

There, I've used this word in the form of an adjective, a verb and 2 kinds of nouns - one of them as a state of being and the other as a common noun.

It's a noun, but then again you yanks never tire of bastardising the English language by turning nouns into verbs.

P.S. Like I just did then with the word "bastardising"

You've all got it wrong - VTEC is a location. Just substitute VTEC for Utopia, as in, "I found Utopia."
