Man when I hear that thing all i can think its Motorcycle

it sounds so bad-ass compared to the older dohc vtec cars.

I wonder why it sounds like that or if its a simulated sound that isnt really the true sound of the car. I figure maybe its the reverse spinning and the intelligent vtec it must have some different timing and better intake manifolds or SOMETHING to give it that bad-ass sound.

has anyone heard one in real life does it sound like a motorcycle also?

I think its pretty cool that honda put factory adjustable cam gears on its i-vtec motors.

And not hearing the vtec cross over isnt necessarily a bad thing. Ive been told that a smooth cross over is actually more horsepower efficient.

Yes they are pretty quiet I work at an Acura dealer and it does feel slow. But alot of the early ones needed their computers reprogrammed before sale maybe that helped some of them out?
