I would agree. If your not redlining through every gear, the LS is just as quick. I may be wrong, but I believe the LS engine hits its torque peak sooner than the GSR engine. I know I'll catch some flak for what I'm writing here, but for everyday driving, there is not that much difference.

BTW, hears another kicker for yall. I had a Neon Sport before my Integra. It had the DOHC 2.0 150 hp with the close ratio trans. It was just as fast as the Integra and I put 150,000 miles on it before I traded it in. The Neon was no Integra (not near as well refined or engineered), but it was fast.

my friend bought a 95 neon for like 700 bucks just for a car to get around in (although i think even with $700 i could do better) but that thing ran. 1st gear it stuck with me but in second its like he hit the brakes. another friends r/t with cai and exhaust stayed with me like something else, i took it by a car length at the end of 3rd but i was amazed. BUT it is still a neon!

Vtec stands for variable valve timing.

All of you didn't start out as vtec honda gurus.

actually, vtec stands for variable valve timing and lift electronic control.
looks like someone still isn't a vtec guru...

Actually it is "Variable Valve Timing w/ Electronic Lift Control" but who's correcting anybody.
