VTEC stronger in some years?

[B16EJ1]

It may be all driver but saying a stock non-vtec 4door can beat a stock vtec 2door is a bit far fetched. Let's say both drivers are a little off, there is more than a 10 hp difference there. " You can fool some people sometime but you can't fool all the people all the time ".

Just a little fact to throw in here, assuming the 99-00 civic Si/del sol VTEC (b16) engines have a "louder,meaner vtec" than the new civic Si's is correct.

The new civic Si has INTAKE CAM VTEC ONLY. that is the reason the rsx type s has 200hp and civic si has 160hp and they both have a k20a engine.

b16 vtec screams.

Ok thats pretty obvious that the driver makes a big difference. But i was saying how ive driven a few coupes with v-tec, and they just dont pull as hard as my "4 door non vtec". And by the way 4 door sedans dont have a big difference in weight compared to coupes, u can check it out for yourself instead of starting an argument abt taht too.
I think it really is cuz of the engine, i think it may be a higher compression ratio, since it's imported from japan and they have slightly different specs. Anyone know for sure?
I know my car and i know that it continues to pull hard all teh way to 6800 when it cuts off, it pulls even harder after 3800, as if it has vtec even tough it doesnt.... maybe i was just lucky with this engine?

my girl just got a 99 eclipse, the special oz racing one, with the wing on the back and rims, and that shit is dirt slow, i coud beat it in my old 4 door dx civic, it seems like the only fast clipses are the turbo ones. (not to hate on you, just the mentioning of it got my thinkin about her eclipse

I've got a 2000 EX, and its VTEC is practically nothing compared to my mom's old 96 Prelude. That engine was stock as hell and you could feel and hear it soooo much more then a civic. The best part was that if you really put your foot in it, the gas gauge (which was electronic in those days) would always move down a notch.

I remember I went on my first date with this chick in my mom's prelude and of course tried to show off in the fast car. I wound up fish tailing all over the road upon leaving the restaurant. I felt like an ass for sure.
