You get an s2000 but your not gonna drive it hard? Thats a car well wasted Why wouldnt you drive it hard? You could always buy a lexus or somthing. Did you buy it for status like doctors and ****? Vtec kicks in when the car starts.

Ok, just get 02 accord v6 it has decent low end torque so you dont have to worry about reving. BTW i tought s2k's vtec kicks in at 6200k rpm.

actually to be a tech nerd..
it varies to the condition of Air intake temp, oil pressure, oil temp etc... so vtec can vary between 5850 to 6300

I said 6200 because i got friend with s2k and he told me his vtec was kicking in at that rpm so he bought vafc to engage it earlier.

Why don't you just go find out for yourself? I don't think one time will hurt it

LOL seriously. Sounds like a grandmother who heard that her car had VTECH and is scared to go that high. Just dont blow the welds on the intake with that kind of revving. TEST IT OUT! I bet after you hit vtec and feel the extra power you will never leave it, lol. GARUNTEE
