if you miss a shift when you are drving hard (3rd to 2nd instead of 4th) you will do serious damage to the engine (the aveo would rev well above 8000rpm) v-tec has nothing to do with it in the sense

v-tec is the big bow on the car, the finishing touch for honda, if they sold their cars without v-tec then they would all make no power, no kids would want to buy them

i hope he is not making a dyno queen lol
