Its the F#cking awesomest. Its not reinventing the wheel, but it gives you the best of both worlds. Fuel economy and mad power up top where u need it and want it the most. I’m surprised more cars don’t have it. Does Honda have a paten on it so no one else can make it? I would have thought for sure someone would have reverse-engineered it by now and started using it too. Why don’t more companies make VTEC? (Besides obviously Honda is far superior to all of them) :tup: _100th post too, Dayum!, do I get a cuztom title now?_ ---

A lot of companies have variable valve timing. that said, you fucking suck. SHUT UP ABOUT HONDAS, THEY ARE NOT THAT FUCKING COOL. Subaru, toyota, BMW all have variable cam timing. ---
