B16Ä2 VTEC "KICK" "FEELING" Non Existent?

i love how people talk about b16 vtec "kick". it's a 1.6L... srsly how much extra torque do you really expect to feel?!! lol
if u wanna feel it, do your cams or sit in the passenger seat as long as you have good I/H/E.

the VTEC lets you rev longer. the car next to you (soon to be behind you :p) is reaching for gears when you're just hitting the "ok let's go" part of the rev range.

I also would like to :thumbsup:

we all know hondas are shit for torque unless modded . If you want a car that kicks you back in your seat buy a rwd turbo or 4wd turbo. Even my b20 feels pretty torquey, but after going in a drive in my uncles 12 sec WRX , it feels babyish. So in the end if you have a 14 sec turbo rwd/4wd car and a 14 sec na fwd car, which one will feel faster?

Personally I think RWD cars feel faster because they push you from behind and you can really feel it in your navel, whereas the FWD I think pushes/pulls the driver's body differently so that you don't feel like you're going as fast.

Know what I mean?

My GF paid for me to do the V8 Supercar experience at Calder where you get to drive a 400bhp Monaro for 8 laps around the circuit, fully stripped car, racing slicks and sussy etc. You hit over 200 km/h no problem on the straight and I've been in a turbo FWD as well - very different feeling.

Gonna have to agree, RWD does eel faster due to the pushing aspect

I have people in my b18cr, and they always go "BRO I CAN FEEL THE VTEC MAN". So I guess some engines kick in harder then others. LOL

haha. Everybody loves the VTEC, even if you don't feel it, it still a passenger attraction. As long as your cars got a VTEC, and you love the n/a feel, then you're set.
P.S: I don't think drivers feel it as much as passengers, probably cause you're holding on tight so you don't lose it.

I was goner try and close this thread lol.. but i cant find the close button -_-

Thanks Mods

all this VTECH bullshit i just want to get in mine and see how it goes hahaha

as requested, and because it's completely off topic now
