i use the term aggressive in a relative sense.

the acceleration of a 14psi Supra RZ isn't all that "aggressive" compared to other cars.

Compared to what? A single turbo 20psi Supra or GT-R? A 14psi RZ is fair aggressive enough for me thanks, and reminds me that the slight change in engine note and extra breath of VTEC is about finesse, not about being savage or aggressive.

i used the word "aggressive" as a relative term in that sentense comparing before and after the vtec engagement point.

using "finesse" to describe a change of note when vtec engages?? now that i don't think anyone has heard of.
there is no "finesse" required in planting your foot on the accelerator pedal

Perhaps your engine is totally different to mine, but the lumpy cam doesn't seem any more aggressive to me than the economy cam. It just lets the engine rev out.

There is actually, if you're in a corner and don't want to understeer off the track. What I mean though is that VTEC switching cams feels more like finesse than aggressiveness to me.

the thread starter has a TypeS with a k20z1
this engine has the JDM intake cam found in the Jap spec DC5 TypeR, so there is definitely a difference between that engine (and mine) compared to an Integra VTi-R

Perhaps I'll have to take a spin in a Type S one day. Considering the DC2 Type R doesn't come on aggressively either though, I doubt any DC5 will. Never driven one though, so I could be wrong.

I was just thinking that???

Proprotional to right foot and state of the engine. ie tune, faulty components etc...
