Probe VTEC
Probe VTEC Ok, I was in the parking lot where I work at about 4AM with about 8 guys who I had just got back from the bar with. Some guy in a silver probe pulls in. But wait, this is no ordinary probe, this probe has chrome rims, SUPER SPORT stickers ALL OVER, and right next to the PROBE decal on back, "VTEC". So I go to pull out, and he floors it behind me. I hear a little squeal so I know he's trying to catch me. We turn left at a redlight onto a 4 lane road, and I stay left at about 20 to see if he is gonna come up beside me. Sure enough, he rolls up, and then slams on the gas (fart cannon roaring). So I hit it, car drops to first, wheels spin for a bit, then at about 40 I FLY past him. I left off at about 80, and he just cruises by and then turns off.

oh geez. Every car nowadays seems to be "VTEC". First its the non-VTEC honda's, then its the Mitsubishi eclipse, and now a probe? What is our world coming to?
Good way to put him in his place!

I'm curious if you asked him about it, what he'd say...
you: "why does your car say VTEC, did you swap in a honda motor?"
him: "naw brah, VTEC just means it's mad fast, yo. you know, it's means my car is fast like mad boost or nawzz or somethin. You can put it on your car when you are fast enough to "run 10s", whatever that means."

There's a guy in one of our local F-Body clubs that had, or has, a Probe with a pretty big turbo kit on it. His name is Tyson, and from what I've heard his car is wicked fast. Just goes to show that you can either a) do it right, or b) screw it(and yourself) big time.
BTW-I don't think Ty's car was a V-Tec

I saw an early 90s "VTEC" Mercury Cougar a couple weeks ago. 
He had countless other stickers for **** he didn't have on the car like Nittos, Tokico, etc. He also had a nice silver monster tach that wasn't even hooked up.
