You have your opinion... but VTEC is good. It's designed so you can have high-end power where it counts in a race, but still have the primary cam lobes for the low-end keeping the car streetable, smogable, and clean. It's a rather brilliant design... and if It wasn't, manufactures like BMW, Porsche, and even Toyota would not be copying. VTEC is for PURE track. Acura Integras GSR/Type R's have been pretty much owning the stock classes for the better part of the 90's and even now. There are not a lot of stock cars in the same class than can out-run an Integra on the track... and it's all because of VTEC. Of course, VTEC also has been played out to an extent... but just compare 2 motors that are essentially the same, minus VTEC, and understand the differences in power they make. A B18B and B18C can make as much as 40-70 hp difference of each other, all because of VTEC. That's a lot... As for Hondas turning into Ford... Honda was the LAST Japanese company that was still privately owned by the Honda family. The CEO recently passed away, and the succesor, Mugen Honda, is probably not gonna take over, which leaves Honda to its stock holders. Quite honestly, they are probably the last pure import company... regardless of where the cars are assembled. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
