vtec doesn't have variable intake cam timing but only has variable valve lift and duration.
ivtec has variable valve lift and duration as well as intake cam timing.

 

ivtec offers better lowend torque, gives you the power at lower rpm where it matters(for accords, crvs, etc,...cars that are heavier).

it doesn't just matter in heavier cars, ALL cars. having low end torque makes daily driving a hell of a lot easier.

and to be honest, i was very dissapointed that honda didn't implement it on the new 2.2 liter motor. i mean, i'm pretty sure their goal was to have ivtec on all their motors by 2007. i mean, then again, its not much a new motor...just increased displacement. but the s2k coulda make a big more low end and midrange hp and tq w/ ivtec.
