A term for Honda's valve timing system on most of their cars. Unfortunatly, it does not kick in until higher RPMs, thereby essetially doing nothing for acceleration. It's a poor excuse for losers in drag races.
I forgot to turn on my VTEC. *switches on foglights*

Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control.
engine's powerbands are limited to their cam lobe profile, by using multiple cam profiles, honda's VTEC system enables a much larger powerband. Not to be confused with VTECH electronics.
"Using mad 3rd gear vtec, I was able to pass the del sol.

VTEC (which stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts. By having two or more camshaft profiles, low-end torque, and top-end horsepower can be realized. It was first featured in the 1992 Acura NSX and 1992 Honda Prelude VTEC. It was later made famous by the popular Fast N Furious Movie when the Korean guy w/ the S2000 won the Jetta 1.8T.

Derogatory name for Barskahai's (Armenian's from Iran). They were given this name because they all seem to drive Honda or Acura's. Some of their cars are actually equipped with VTEC engine's, the others just buy VTEC emblems and decals from an auto parts store and apply them to their "VTEC".
The 'VTEC's seem to think that these cars are so fast and so cool, that nothing else can compare to them. To spot a 'VTEC' simply go to Glendale, CA and drive down Brand Blvd. Look for a Honda Civic with some kind of VTEC decal and a huge wing, listen for the fart-in-a-can exaust and the bumping techno music. They appear to be fast cars, but even the slowest car can do 60mph down a city street.
Duuude-bro, check out my VTEC, I just got a speaker that makes a sound like a blow-off valve.
Duuude-bro, you just got a turbo and a cold air intake? There is no way that Viper will have any chance against you.
Duude-bro, I just got some plastic Spinner hub caps for my VTEC.

a variable cam system developed by honda to help improve fuel economy. Sadly ricers often mistaken this as technology that "magicaly" makes 50+ hp on there 4 banger motors
Ricer: I didn't win because the Vtec didn't kick in!!
Me: STFU Retard! buy a turbo or but a V6 in that thing, you ricers give us REAL Import Tuners a bad name!!

VTEC(Variable Valve Timing and Engine Control) is a technology employed by Honda in many of it's cars. Since it's development, VTEC has become popular among uneducated ricers, who flaunt their cars by bragging about having VTEC, all in attempt to intimidate their potential opponents. Unfortunately, ricers overlook the fact the VTEC does not engage until rpm is close to redline. As a result, VTEC is essentially useless in racing because the car has to be shifted not long after it has become active. VTEC also does nothing to improve torque in the low rpm range.
Although VTEC is meant to improve the performance of low displacement engines, it does not work nearly as effectively as a volume efficiency and performance system, in comparison to turbochargers or superchargers.
Ricers believe that VTEC, along with the addition of horsepower enhancing Walmart stickers, body kits and massive spoilers, will allow them to defeat all other street opponents in their mom's economy car. And when ricers lose every time, they typically blame it on their VTEC not kicking in, or because their NOS(empty NOS containers in their trunk) never kick in.
- Ricer pulls next to me at a red light.
Ricer: Ah dawg, you wanna race, yo? I got VTEC, yo (He repeatedly revs his car to the rev limiter)
Me: Umm, you realize that VTEC doesn't help your mom's car win races, especially against actual performance cars, don't you?
Ricer: Well I got JDM VTEC, yo. Its wayyy better.
- The stoplight turns green and the ricer stalls his manual Civic because he only just learned to drive standard today.
