So I passed by a used car dealership that had a 'GC' style Impreza 2.5RS today. I figured i'd take a look at it, so I pull into the lot and talk to the dealer. His "quick appraisal" of my '99 civic ex coupe was $2500, so I just walked out. All that time, a thuggish mexican kept asking me YO DOES IT HAVE VTEC? I said yeah, sohc vtec.

I walk out, start pulling out and the mexican thug stops me and says "nice car! why you wanna sell?" I tell him i'm bored, I want something different, and he asks me to pop the hood. He looks at my engine and is like "THAT AIN'T VTEC YO, YOU AIN'T GOT NO VTEC!"

At that point I get in my car, pull my window down, and while driving away tell him he belongs at Taco Bell.

True story. I think he's gonna hunt me down and kill me. 🙁
 
The Civic EX has a VTEC (even your 99). He doesn't know what he's talking about. Should say VTEC on the engine, too. 99 is the same year that the SI came out, which was the 160HP Civic they released, also VTEC. Your 99, iirc, has 127hp, too (HX had 115hp, and the CX/DX, whether it was a hatchback, coupe, or sedan, had 106hp).

Yeah, I know... 🙂

Mine doesn't say VTEC anywhere, as far as I remember. But I do see the chasis code D16Y8 on the engine, which is the USDM 1.6L SOHC VTEC engine found in EX's...

I was walking around times square, some dude pulls up in his integra, the one that had the japanese lights, probably a 99 iirc. Some thuggish dude runs up to the guy and asks him "does that have a vtec?!" i stared at the guy like he was from mars or something. people are dumb sometimes.
