Exactly, and I love it. I love the new turbo motors everybody is shipping too, but I love the simplicity of the VTECH (funny, cam phasing is simplicity nowadays, it used to be rocket science to do it at Honda reliability levels).
The VTECH tech also allows better gas mileage if I don’t have the need, the need for speed.
Most turbos transition to boost so smoothly now, most people can’t tell they are driving a turbo. Unlike my old 2.2L Turbo I, my second car ever. It was like someone lit off rocket engines at about 1800RPM :)
Interesting double post. I thought I hadn’t posted it, but it had posted, and sent me to the editor, go figure. Or maybe it was a cat on the keyboard whilst I was dining.
