more than that they need to learn about the one thing they CANT stop talking about...and that is the VTEC engine. Now dont get me wrong....im actually impressed by the vtec...i think its a very creative idea to get that type of raw power out of such a small engine. However, they throw this word around so loosley and an extrremely small percentage of them have even the slightest clue of what it stands for, what it does, and how it works 
and its real sad when i have to try and explain it to them...but i dont bother because they know everything

....and it's not like it (vtec) was there idea anyway. Various companies have been messing with it since the very early 80's.

MIVEC as well. And Fiat was the first to develope a variable valve timign system ion the 60's. its on Wikipedia. GM tried to do it before Honda as well in 75, but had problems.

They should do what F1 cars do, not run on springs at all. they run on pneumatic valves, their pushed by computer controlled hydrualics cause springs couldnt take 18-20,000RPM's. Theres a few engines out there that dont have cams at all, the valves open when the computer says its time!!

The only problem with those is what happens when the computer has a glitch? ...better hope it's not an interference motor!
