im sorry but i didnt know if my car was dual over head cam.. or single cam.. im guessing dual?!.. since its vtec.... im not dumb.. i just never have learned engines.. im lucky i can do what i can.. my dad was supposed to help me learn things..and he never did.. then up and left... all i know is i enjoy the sound of my vtec kickin in..and pushing me to 115 on the interstate
just as long as you dont act like you know what you are talking about, you should keep out of the group of people we are criticizing. its the ones that BS with no real knowledge to back it up.

Your learning, which is good. I'm assuming that the VTEC in bikes and the VTEC is cars works the same way. Cause that guy is a bike salesman, which leads me to believe the guys that are in sales don't know anything about the cars/bikes they sell.

you should have heard the Mitsu guys feeding us lines of BS when we were shopping for the Evo. it was pathetic. yet another reason Mitsu almost went under. the salesmen dont even know anything about the flagship model.

i would have taken him with me on a test drive, then grinded the hell out of the gears, and then told the sales manager what an idiot thesalesperson was.
