It is VTEC, regardless of the changes and refinements and attempts to mask Honda technology. There has been VVT varations since the 1920s, but the successful modern rendition widely used appeared on Honda CBR motorcycles in the 1980s, appears in several European and Japanese cars now, and a copycat rendition with refinements appears in the Ford engines today. The idea of using modern electronics to control VVT is a Japanese development. Get over it.

you correctly state it as VVT many times in your own post. Vtec has nothing to do with anything unless you are talking about Honda's. VVT does not equal Vtec.
calm down guy, don't go changing the subject on a rant after being corrected. Keep it on subject and civil. This is a celebration/discussion regarding the Z28, not a thread for your feeble attempts to downgrade another car.
