A search/5 mins worth of reading on here, vtec.net or k-series.com will help
explain the differences.

That said, the RSX-S has a K20A2. The RSX has a K20A3 (same as the new Si).
The A3 doesn't have VTEC on the exhaust cams. That is the main difference and
probably why you don't hear it "hit" (I love that term, heck, I love the idolization of
vtec for that matter) as much on the base RSX.
