VTEC's are horrible engines! and Honda owners think they are the best thing invented since the wheel.
This shouldn't even be a Topic...the 2002 SI couldn't even beat an ATX 95 Contour with 100+ miles on it. Infact the 2002 Si's basically STOLE the SVT Focus design !
You guys forgot why the VTEC rpm levels are so high in the first place? Studies show the only reason why is because with lower rpms the car wouldn't move. Meaning this piece of crap couldn't power a blow dryer! If they made a 9000rpm level on a Zetec it would probably overwhelm a Duratec maybe even a mustang engine...Because of the weight,power etc.
