I hit VTEC in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear every time I'm getting on the highway. I hit VTEC in 2nd gear every time I pass someone on city streets. So all in all, probably like 7 times per week day, and probably like 30 times per weekend.

I hit Vtak (Y0!) no times in my Prelude every day. In fact I've not done so in about 40,000 miles.

yea I hit vtec like maybe once a month if that. but I will admit when I first bought the car a year and a half ago I would do it all the time for the first month just because it was so much more fun than my old LS integra.

Not any more, in the Prelude at least.

200whp/183wtq was cheaper nonVTEC than it was with VTEC with 23 ft/lbs more torque to boot.

I have iVTEC in my grocery-getter though.

when i had my gsr it was probably 6-7 times a day maybe more maybe less. The real fun in that carwas 5800 when the manifold switched over.
THe lude is an H23, so no vtec.

I do mainly in town driving, so not much room to hit V-TEC. I do step on it when I get on the freeway...LOTS OF FUN! So, 3-6 times a week.

I hit Vtec in 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear, and 4th gear, never got to 5th gear vtec though, I suppose that the speed limiter wont allow me to ever get that high.

Oh yeah and thats how I drive my Vtak Yo!

When I used to have the prelude. Honestly it was at least 10 times a day.

I drive a 2003 Cl type-S now and I would say around 7 or so.

If I am driving in the city its alot more.

when I do drive it, 10 times in 8k miles seems about average for me.
