I think you got gipped by the marketing. Just because your civic sport has i-vtec doesn't mean you should be expecting a punch in acceleration after 5-6k rpm.
The same marketing hype has been done to the jazz. It's advertised to have vtec but does it provide the oomph after 5k rpm? Nope.
As the previous posters have mentioned, it's for fuel economy. Merely a different technology/profile sharing the same marketing buzz word "VTEC"
