Welcome. Hope the move to the 350 proves to ultimately be a good move.

Here is a pic of my old lude and my buddy's old lude.

See, why cant people around here mod their hondas as tastefully as those? Every honda in this city is pretty much rice and its so annoying. I'v started to hate hondas in general because of the hondas around here but when i see cars like those above it reminds me its not the car's fault, lol.

I think Dave079 is referring more to the make (Honda) and not the variable timing.

Yeah its just more a knock on the Honda Vtec fanboys. Its not thats its a bad car or engine, but just the stupid kids with the "my vtec will own everything" attitude.

Yeah I cant argue that Honda is a bad car at all. My wife owns an 02 Accord V6 and its a great car. Just not very fast even for the V6 "Vtec"

I agree with Dave though. VTEC is nice technology and all, but too many fanboys believe in their VTEC a little too much. I didn't have the H22 though, I had a spare H23 that I was going to rebuild for boost. Hell, even when I had a Honda I hated people talking about VTEC all the time. Having a 350Z makes it even worse

I hear the 6 speed coupes are pretty quick. I think they run around mid 14s stock. Not too shabby. I have a friend with one thats spraying it now.

Yeah the newer ones are pretty quick actually. I want to say the newer ones came out around 04', but Im not definate. My wife has an 02 auto. You just dont see many modded newer accords. The Vtec fanboys I am talking about normally stick with the civics because its probably what most can afford being that most are teenagers.

Yeah, I had another friend with that gen that ran a 14.9 with bolt-ons.
