almost any new car now has variable valve timing, but the only ones with vtec back in he day was honda (to my knowledge)

the newer and more expensive american cars have Displacement on demand that shut off cylinders to help gas mileage

yeah, that cracks me up on the hemi commercials when it says it switches it to a "gas-saving four cylinder" but its still what? 2.6+ liters? not exactly a small four cylinder. good idea though. just funny marketing, makes it sound like a 1.5 or something.

I am just saying vtec is not all great like people make it out to be, it is a cool thing Honda brought to the table but still not anything earth shattering.

thanks for clearing that up. i didnt know what it did i just saw it and laughed.

but i sorta agree with you md. we have 2 accords. one has a vtec and the other just the 16 valve engine. and i can tell a difference in the two
