that sir, is incorrect.... 118 woulda been your top speed.

 

lol i live in honda centeral! lol im always toying with boosted civics and staying rite next to them! they dont belive that im n/a tho!

 

Unless by N/A you mean some nice upgrades to your engine, I honestly don't believe you're keeping up with boost. I have both a 99 R/T and a 94 Honda Prelude VTEC, and I'm confident if you have barely any work done to your car, boost or vtec would win.

 

vtec aint all its cracked up to be...and yes i can say this because i own a civic dohc vtec with headers shortram air intake and catback exhaust..they move but my neon has no problem staying with it if not beating it sometimes...and its SOHC...but boosted thats hard to believe what are the boosting 2psi lol...

 

mine's heavily modified, i'm n/a and faster than a stock SRT-4. oh...and VTEC is a technology for fuel efficiency not power as many people think. What it actually does is tighten up on the rocker arms to slow down valve movement, therefore improving fuel efficiency and allowing the engine higher rpm's.

 

Proly a CHEvette

 

bang for the buck, gotta love the neon.. Hell, if I had money for the SRT4 or EVO or STI I prolly still have a neon just to punk those doubters out there

 

yes but the other thing is that not all VTEC is the same... there are different versions... like the SOHC version are strictly for fuel efficiency... but the VTEC thats on like the teg GSR and type Rs, and the nsx, and S2000... those versions are yes still there so that under normal driving you get killer milage and still hella easy to drive but when you open it up you get the killer top end power that hondas are so well known for...

agreed

In a vtec engine, there are two camshafts, not one. One is for low-rpms, the other for the vtec at higher rpms, and was designed to increase power output when the ECU switches from one to the other. The newer versions are either for just fuel efficiency, or for both fuel and power. The second camshaft for the vtec was better suited for higher rpms, so instead of just having one camshaft for all rpms, it was divided, so that if you wanted some more power, you got your power. This way it maximizes power output of the high rpm's, while the other camshaft focuses on fuel efficiency at the lower rpms.

 

well, pardon me for not knowing honda...They are only good for fuel efficiency to me. I like my american companies.
