VTEC!! - not V-tech, vtec or V-tech!!

Quick rant

I hate when people call it v-tech (its not a f'n childrens computer)

VTEC is NOT "V-tec", "V-TEC", "V-tech", "V-TECH", "VTECH", "V-TEK", "vtech", "vtec", "vortech", "Vtec", or "Vtech". It's CAPITAL VTEC. No dashes, no lower case, no extra letters, no anything other than the correct and only spelling of VTEC. If you cannot respect the technology and simply use the correct spelling, you do not deserve what it gives you.

it's spelled VTEC and only VTEC.





.....and then you have Tuning Factory - Irelands number1 V-tec specialists

...It would help if they could at least spell the four letters of the area of motoring they specialise in. LOL

Who gives a damn? It's a marketing term and that's about it. It's just an umbrella term for some of Honda's implementations of variable valve timing and/or lift and doesn't refer to a single technology. Nor does it refer to a particularly unique, important or advanced implementation.
It only really helps to sell cars to people who think they know a thing or two about car engines, but who rarely do. Like the guy who was telling me about his really powerful Civic which had VTEC (though in his mind he probably had vee-tek), which actually had VTEC-E and it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
BTW, why don't we get pedantic about all of these technologies, such as VVC, VVTL-i, VarioCam, etc. And car names, such as MX-5 (not mx-5, Mx-5, MX5, Mx5, MX 5 or even Mx 5), etc. Or more importantly, car company name pronunciations, Porsche does not have a silent 'e', though similarly it is not pronounced Porschaaaaa, Audi is pronounced Oww-Dee, not Awed-Ee, Citroen is not pronounced sit-ron, Volkswagen is closer to Folksvagen than most people pronounce it and the proper pronunciation of the name of a bodykitted Honda Civic with a big bore exhaust is Chavmobile-patheticus-maximus.

If not, then what is it?
Don't tell me it is a technology as it is an umbrella term for a number of technologies to do with cams and valves. Additionally, it is only a brand for technologies which were already described by other generic terms. Therefore, it is an invention by Honda to describe their particular implementations. Since theirs are not particularly different from a number of others, how can it be seen as anything other than a simple marketing term?
It is as much a marketing term as Kompressor is for Mercedes Benz.

Although nastysimon does have a valid point, is it really worth having a conversation about how to write something that you would understand whatever variation of its spelling was presented to you?., its all a bit pointless to hear someone moaning about how to spell sh*t on a forum, you know what it means so no big deal.,

and yes, my username is "vtec" lol., why? because its short to type and easier than holding shift when i sign in.,
