They do make decent power when it engages, but correct me if I'm wrong from what I've head (don't know about the new Vtec engines) that they only work on the Exhaust valves whereas the new MIVEC works on intake and exhaust?

There is a thread somewhere on this forum that shows the difference between the two, I'll have a look for it and post a link. EDIT: CLICK ME
Personally I prefer the power delivery of MIVEC, I believe we have a bit more torque and low down power compaired to VTEC so we don't need to keep the car revings it's tits off to keep it in the powerband.
They both have their advantages at the end of the day, though VTEC seems to cop a fair bit of flak from pretty much anyone who doesn't own a Honda - as opposed to MIVEC which you never really hear a peep about.
