No, If the car did not have vtec (which immediately makes me an F1 racer) I would have definitely not have bought it. I will never buy a car without vtec. The 360 modena is a piece of crap because it doesn't have the vtec. I'd rather have a NSX over the 360 anyday. It has honda build quality so it is so much better!!!!!!!!!!!

dude, did you guys know that Ferrari was the first to come out with a variable valve timeing (VTEC)? I dont know if the 360 modena has it but others do. It just works differently then Hondas system. I dont feel like writeing it all out so if you want to know how it works post a topic about it and I will explain. Anyway, I would diffently pick 360 Modena over an NSX, the modena would walk all over the NSX. THe modena runs a 12.2 quarter and the NSX is a 13.2.

Honestly I think the TL's Vtec kinda sucks because the redline is too low. I previously owned a GSR and Vtec Prelude. The redline on those car are much higher @ 8000rpm and 7600rpm. Most of the HP goes at the higher RPM. I guess thats why they came out with the Type S, which has a higher RPM redline. Unlike the GSR and Vtec Prelude, the TL is way too smooth to actually feel the Vtec kick in. If you dont believe me, go test drive the other cars, and you'll notice the difference between the Vtec in the TL compared to my previous cars.
