i'm not doubting your claims. my 04 has only 2900 miles on it, so i think i'll make a few 1/4 mile passes now, then around 10-15k i'll do some more 1/4 passes.

i think some noted that our non-dynamic v-tec makes it's move around 4300rpm

cheers
What do you mean when you say "non-dynamic" vtec?

3G TL v-tec only operates at a single rpm. other honda engines have variable v-tec.
