I honestly don't know how you could own this car and NOT vtec a lot. I did it every day. I guess because of the lack of torque, I always found myself pushing it to the limit.

surprisingly, i redline this car much less often than i did in my old car (94 sentra se-r 7400rpm)

i redline perhaps 2 times a week? if that. usually onto entering a freeway.

typically i drive cautiously around city streets

I dont VTEC all that often. I get my kicks out of the car at autocross. I dont normally feel the need to wind the car up all the way driving around town, but if I'm angry for some reason, 9k sure does help out in making me happier.
