I concur...damn, it's strange how this particular engine sounds so good when vtec engages..I don't think I've heard better...not even in a V8 LEXUS GS400!

perhaps it's a gimmick

the gs roars all the way up to redline, where as our engine sounds economical till vtec hits. i like vtec sound but the gs sound is mesmerizing!

now if honda could just couple tourque w/ vtec. the cl has more tourque then the nsx stock and one cost 30K the other 90?

TOURQUE + VTEC = DEADLY

i heard about an NSX concept with 400hp, 400 lbs-ft of tourque (partial electric motor 4 tourque)

Yeah Vtec is awesome sound. Me and a friend of mine exchange cars the other day, because I wanted to hear the car from the ourside when Vtec engaged. We got side by side at 25 mph and I told him to stomp it (5 a/t), I was like WOAH that shit sounded sooo cool. I have AEM CAI so it was loud!

I love the VTEC on my first gen.....you're just cruising along...3500RPM.....you mash on it, breaks in 4000.....

From "Hmmmmmmmm.......to.......Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee "

And the pull is nuts. I love it!
