I've never been in an s2000 to know what they are like though..

it isnt lag though

Turbo lag is brought about naturally due to the nature of the system, much in the same way a compressor has to fill its tank before being ultimately useable.

VTEC has its change over point to allow for normal daily driving - and as such, wouldnt be classed as lag. It would however fall into the variable valve timing category which noone else carried through back in the day. Nowadays it is everywhere, and even the Hondas have settled back into an almost no existant changeover and as such does not have the same attraction to those who enjoy the "wee" kick from it.

I am by no means trying to argue, merely put the point across that yes Hondas are great, but they are far from the be-all and end-all. Like everything they have their downsides, but as a daily driving semi-performance car i think they are absolutely spot on.

And Marks CRX does feel very very quick, i absolutely LOVE it.
