doesn't regular vtec just have one switch over point in between 4-5k that switches from low rpm settign to high. I know the iVTEC has multiple settings but regular should only have two setings and thus one switch over point.

VTEC ==> 2 stages that engage at different RPM, first one at about 4-5, the second at about 5-6, depending on the motor.
iVTEC ==> i think 2 stages, that engage when you floor it only. Kinda like the car knows when your racing, hence INTELLIGENT-VTEC

dude, i wasnt staring into his window when I heard the hissing of his intake.
Sorry but, i know what I heard, maybe he did have a vtec controller, not sure since I had my own car to worry about.

I was referring to the noise the intake makes when it hits VTEC.

At one point I saw his car just creeping up next to mine very slowly but he was gaining. I pressed down on the peddle a bit more and engaged VTEC.
Once that happend it seemed like a mustang pulling away from Yugo.............................................. .................................................. ..............I guess that is what he was talking about.

I was exaggerating with that msg.......
I was pulling away from him slowly while we were side by side. So I know he was in the game also. I just found it odd since he has the extra gear on how I was able to get ahead of him.
