The dumbest question you've been asked about your car?
well from what i know the Z does have something familiar to v-tech but its not gay like honda. I have an 04 with the DE dont know how it is in the HR but when i floor it theres a bit of lag before it actually throws u back basically when i hit 3,500 and above it really kicks in kinda like a s2000 again not as gay or as laggy as an actual v-tech
Once you reach the VTEC engagement point, it's literally instantaneous. I believe the lag you're referring to on your Z is the lag from the DBW system.
At a shell gas station filling up:

Being a car nerd is awful.
Did you snort after saying "Nissan?"

My car has damage on the door from the previous owner, so a buddy of mine introduced me to a friend of his and as we are leaving the restaurant we had just ate at the guy says "whoa did you know your door is messed up" ...........I wanted to be like "no, Ive never actually looked at my car...ever"
LOL... your just as bad as the guys above you. Porsche created variable valve timing in the 50's. Toyota's VVTi isn't like Vtec... their VVLTi is(Celica GTS, Matrix XRS, Corolla XRS, Lotus PP). They retard cam timing and have staged cam profiles. VVL(NEO) and Vtec mirror each other in operation and both have "Vtec Popping" sounds. VVL came in SR20's and IIRC SR16(or 18). Honda uses another system to incorporate the engagement and nice wikipedia reference BTW. Vtec cam lobes have 3 per cylinder and the center lobe being the largest. When the car engages Vtec the rocker arms lock and run in unison on the largest lobe... hence the "vtec pop". The new systems now are highly refined so the engagement is almost seamless to the point the new K's found in the 2012 Civic Si have a "Vtec" light that flashes on the display so you can see when the car is in Vtec.
So today a young private comes up to me and says, "Hey Sergeant, what number is your NISMO?" and I was surprised he even knew they were numbered. So I tell him it's an 08 #0831, he then smiles and says "Yeah, I have an 05 number blah blah blah"
I just said "awesome" and walked away.
