Damn good site. Not saying you will feel g's force you into the back of your seat and the air from your lungs but you will feel Vtec kick in so to speak.

VTEC not v-tech. V-tech is a phone.


Howstuffworks is an awesome site. So much excellent info.

Well what happens is that the accient dragon of honda shows up at 5,000rpms and he blows mad JDM flames out of his mouth and it propels your car, lol.

And his name is VTECH too.
