Please elaborate. The s2k's VTEC crossover is like Chuck Norris compared to the TL's (and other Hondas I've driven) girly emo boy.

Honda has been smoothing over the cam phases for the past 10 years. I think he's comparing it to older VTec engines. The Integra GS-R, for example, had a very agressive cam phase.

I'm assuming the crossover in the 2.0 is a lot more noticeable than the one in the 2.2

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Depending on the climate and type of commute either a 350Z or S2000.

0-60 is a good stat, but the 1320 is much better.

0-60 is a much better stat when we're talking about DDing a car considering that most people will never do a 1/4 mile run in their entire life, on the street or on the track.

Yeah, I have never done a proper launch in the Prelude and probably never will; it destroys the tires and the clutch.

I don't do it often, but once in a blue moon or so it's going to break anything.

Yeah, nothing is going to break if you do it a couple times. If you do it all the time, yeah, but not once every so often.
