The Mivec system is an early version of the variable valve timing shoot I beleive... Manual cars are rare, but do go very well so im told.

0-60s pish as they just spin( fwd 200bhp engine with loadsa torgue and little weight and no traction control or lsd cept the gpvr) rest aint that bad ,,vr6 golf lol ok if you like heavy cars with an outdated bland interior i spose

run the quarter mile in 15s standard but theres a few that are in the low 13s blah blah blah

hard to tune unless you start spending a few bob

there the equivelent to the teg type r but dont handle as good on the track and pull alot better from further down the revs,

for a ten year old car they still look good for its class(teg r,mr2 etc etc)

lot more jap cars out there thatl beat them, but the engines are good for into the 150 thou miles which aint bad for a car that redlines at 8 thou

sadly now geting as common as honda civics and tegs

theres a summary for ya go do a search on them if you want to know more lol
