VTEC (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control) is a system developed by Honda which was said to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four - stroke internal combustion engine, resulting in higher
performance at high RPM, and lower fuel consumption at low RPM.
The supercharger cancels out turbo lag at low rpms, while the turbo compensates for the blower's reduced
performance at high rpms.

After a quick draining the Impact stunned everyone with its
performance; not only did it leave a Miata and a Nissan 300ZX in its dust in a head - to - head, standing - start race to 60 mph, but even when cruising
at highway speeds it retained enough kick to press a driver into the seat when the accelerator was stomped — a benefit of its
high -
