What is VTEC?
A word used to make fun of a gay-ass ricer. A real valve thingy Honda uses though.
"Dude, did you see that stupid asian driving his Del-SLOW?"
"Haha, yea. What a douche. VTEC! Hahahaha"

VTEC - what is it?
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.
What does "VTEC" mean?
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 - what does it mean?
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.
VTEC - meaning
Vtec-Virtually Torqueless Economy Car
My vtackkkkk didnt kick in so i had no powaaaaa y0o0o0o0o0
VTEC - definition
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.
VTEC just kicked in yo!
VTEC - slang
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
A "performance enhancing technology" employed by Honda in its "high-performance" "engines."
My Civic makes 130hp and 12 ft/lb of torque, yo.
VTEC keeps the hamsters from getting too tired.
Wait, you mean a bottle of Mountain Dew displaces more than my engine?
VTEC
VTEC - Variable Valve timing and Lift Electronic Control and is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to have multiple camshafts. VTEC engines have an extra intake cam with its own rocker, which follows this cam. The profile on this cam keeps the intake valve open longer than the other cam profile. At low engine speeds, this rocker is not connected to any valves. At high engine speeds, a piston locks the extra rocker to the two rockers that control the two intake valves.
Honda has VTEC to increase efficiency not increase performance.
VTEC
Honda's name for their variable valve timing system that happens to include electronic lift control. (See also : MIVEC, VVTL-i, VariCam Plus, VANOS, and VVL. )
For combustion engines, it allows the increase of air and fuel consumption when VTEC is engaged.
Due to its "lift control", VTEC doesn't engage until higher RPMs to save fuel. Once engaged however, fuel economy drops significantly as performance increases by 20 - 30 horsepower with an increase of torque efficiency.
To market their "economy" cars, Honda used VTEC to have higher horse-power claims. Most of their horsepower claims are at high RPM marks (7,500 or higher), whereas other motor companies make their claims at lower RPM marks (5,500 or below).
This confused most buyers as they thought that engaging their VTEC would allow for them to enjoy peak fuel economy AND peak performance at the same time (hence grew the term to mock VTEC-users; "vtak just kicked in yo!")
To add to the illusion of performance (but keep the status of "economy car"), most VTEC-motors were dropped into chassis with a front-wheel drive drive train (with the S2000 and NSX exempt).
Due to their front-wheeled drive pull, some VTEC users became euphoric in what seemed to be a "fast" car(though it was mostly because of the "pull" force from the car being a FWD vehicle).
Ultimately, the concept of variable valve timing and lift control is now used by other car companies.
Person A : "I got a VTEC motor." *Grin*
Person B : "I bet that guy is a ricer."
"My RSX goes 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. It's got a VTEC."
Person B : "Dude, why do you have that gay looking spoiler on your Civic?" :/
Person A : "Are you stupid or something! Dude, it's got a VTEC. There has to be something to hold down its rear-end or I could spin the fuck out!"
