So I have come to the decision that VTEC is the most entertaining thing ever. It makes for a good laugh everytime it kicks in. I was riding with my buddy lastnight and hes got a GSR which obviously has VTEC and he gets so serious, but i can help from breaking down and laughing everytime it kicks in. Is this normal??

Could you imagine how hilarious the VTEC on an NSX would be, im almost thinking i would almost sufficate laughing so hard, cuz we all know the 'lil 4 banger VTEC sounds like an angry retard. An NSX would have to sound like something never heard and never replicated a whole new world of VTEC

its a comment from here http://www.bellengineering.net/Pages/comments.html
Conclusion #3: Porsche will one day build either aluminum, copper or silver compressor outlet tubes, and when they do, we will once again be able to claim we plagiarized their design.
even though porsche thought of it second, they are german and thus get the credit...
real world example;
i brought an rx8 home, let dad drive it. later that night he goes, the new bmw/mercedes has electronic power steering, its supposed to be really good. its new and innovative.
i go, um the car you just drove had that.... mazda had it 2+ years ago
like vtec, the rotaries had the equivalent (6 ports) in 82, and if you really wanna cheat about it, NSU had that in 1965....

Ya i read your whole experience, have you drove/rode in an NSX?
Yes, Ive drove in an NSX.
I've also looked at S2000 just before bought my MX5.
I personally didn't think it was worth extra 10K for an S2000 when MX5 did just fine with out the VTEC.
