Before everyone else gets stuck in, I'll answer that one...It's just a name...There's lots of threads where this has been answered before. Try a search for more info.

And if my memory serves me right, the name Zetec has been around longer... I'll see if I can find anything.

Yes Zetec has been around longer than VTEC and its just a name. No variable timing except on the SVT model if I recall. So the Honda liked the way our name sounded and they copied us
