Survey- Euro Vtec experience

[Merlin086]

Just curious to get numbers on how many euro drivers here have not experienced Vtec?


I am curious following a statement from Jtune....


Quote:-

"from our research the majority of Honda Accord Euro owners hardly rev their car above 6000 rpm therefore never experience VTEC."



I believe the majority of people who would be interested in improving the performance of their euro would have experienced Vtec.

Personally hitting Vtec has been a almost daily occurrence as I frequently merge onto 100k zone highways......

I think they were surveying the wrong group of people. As you said the majority of people who are interested in improving the performance of their euro would have experienced vtec before.

I vtec about once a day for the same reason as you =) I'm a responsible driver and stay within the speed limit, so really i've only experienced vtec in 2nd gear =)

Correct.... most of the normal drivers who dont care about performance wouldnt bother about vtec or rev it hard...

I love to vtec but I dont really like performance mods... well maybe turbo or supercharging, but that is too expensive already. And for that price I need to pay and I cant drive fast on the roads, its just not worth paying for it...

I've hit vtec maybe 5 or 6 times since I've owned my car (just over a month). I don't drive it far to work so wouldn't dare doing those sorts of revs with an engine that isn't properly warmed up - not to mention that there is nothing but 60 zones between me and work anyway.

Euros hit VTEC at 6000rpm, Thats a bit high isnt it?
or is this normal for later model cars?

Unfortunately with my daily commute to work, I have to admit that I don't get the opportunity to exceed 6000rpm without breaking the speed limit.
I used to be able to do VTEC once a day because of a nice onramp onto a freeway. Now, I hit the onramp as soon as I get out of the garage, so the engine is still cold. No VTEC for the engine then.

pretty much everytime i drive the car it hits the 7,000RPM mark,
usually only in First gear, but since i get onto a few HWY's to get home from work i usually just get it in 2'nd, and i can still count on one hand how many times i've hit vtec in 3'rd, which by the way was scary as hell!

since mines a auto, vtec comes in
1'st = 60km's
2'nd = 100km's
3'rd = 140km's
