I'm not saying I specifically heard "VTEC" kick in, but in many VTEC engines, the engine note changes once it hits VTEC. It usually sounds like it's opening up, getting a bit louder, working a little harder, going higher up in pitch.

I couldn't tell in the GSR, which is why I didn't get one. In the Prelude I almost bought, I could totally tell when I hit VTEC. I think if you've driven a newer Prelude, you can't argue with me there because it's really obvious at the crossover point.
