Default When vtec kicks in, does it push you back in your seat? Pre 2004 s2k's please

From looking at the dyno charts there is a significant increase in horsepower and torque when in vtec.

So what I'm wondering is when you hit vtec are you going from 6-9k are you pushed back in your seat, or do you feel butterflies in your tummy or anything?

It definitely puts you in your seat but nothing as dramatic as F&F nitro hit. Probably more like a little rush.

Mine gives me a slight push back in the seat, but it's nothing to brag about.

I really don't think it's significant enough to be called being "Pushed back in your seat" but you can certainly feel it.

I agree with S2-Raw.

It's not like the feel you get from a Vette but it is substantial.

You can hear it and feel it! More than what my Integra GSR did when it hit VTEC.

Not major, but enough to make me smile.

It's like when the nitrous hits in 2 Fast 2 Foolish. First, there is a momentary blur. Then, all the lights start to streak, kind of like the Enterprise going to warp speed. Also, blue flames shoot out of the tailpipes. According to the speedometer I'm going 160mph, but the quarter mile race still takes 45 seconds. I think it has something to do with the theory of general relativity.

Not even close. It just about the feel of pull when you blip more gas at around above 5k RPM, but the rav cliams much quicker---much-much quicker!

i dont own an s2k, never have experienced VTEC, but i would like to think of it like a little piece of heaven j/k j/k, but being serious now, i always wondered what it is like, i admit i thought that you would get a rush and move to the back of the seat, as i have experienced this in other cars...
