Sure, I'd love to have 80 HP or so below 4.5k rpms and no torque to speak of :rolleyes:
(The aftermarket would be nice, though)
The VCT is on the intake cam instead of the exhaust cam.
Personally I'd rather have a Zetec. For example my friend has a 00 Civiv Si with every bolt on mod out there. They are 160 Hp stock. I can hang with him until his Vtec kicks in. Vtec is only good maybe if you are racing on highways because all the power is made when the Vtec kicks in. Vtec=no torque :p
Just look at SCC April issue. The 200 Hp RSX dynoed at the wheels 168 Hp and only 122 ft-lbs of torque.
[/b]Um no.
The VCT is on the exhaust cam for the Contours. The SVT Zetec in the Focus will have VCT on both intake and exhaust cams.
