why do you say vtec is a thing of the 90s. Have you driven a new SI. The vtec in stock form is subtle but with my current mods its like a turbo feeling. she pulls real hard with the right mods

I used to underestimate the power of V-TEC as well, until one of my friend gave me a ride in his S2000! From 6000 to 9000 RPM (VTEC range) = SICK! . But the problem I see is that vtec constantly want you rev your engine higher where VQ has the torque throughout the whole RPM. That was one of the reason I never drove S2000. Going from si, you'll love the whole-RPM-power of the 370Z. You can almost never be in a wrong gear.

+1.

The VQ has a lot of torque on tap at just about every RPM. It's great and was very surprising to me.

This is coming from a guy who used to sport a 12second Mustang!!!

ya i know what you mean. she doesnt come alive until 5800 then she stays in the vtec powerband throughout but when your getting up in the higher gears i just realize she has no torque. kinda like the little engine that thought it could but couldnt. there really is no way to get real torque from a honda. you just have to lose weight but you can only do that so much for a daily driver.
