Older days 1.6 mivec is a totally diff system.. At 5k++ rpm it switches to a higher cam... Much more power n torque.. 4B10 mivec is dvvt.. It dun "open"
Belib it or not, until
yesterday this moaning I seriously put my foot down on
Quazacolt's car, felt sluggish and less responsive(due to vehicle geometry/mass), reminded me the Lancer MR I've owned some years back wasn't this bad

Baru this morning I started to do homework and have a look at their respective spec sheet. Truth is, the newer transmission is much gentle. Despite the spec sheet saying 4krpm++ baru start full tok, but I already felt the license to speed at 2.5k~3krpm. The output wasn't as violent as I expected, but I believe the torque curve on dyno will show smooth line instead of something like the older MIVEC that spikes. In my opinion, if put 2 stock cars in a same race track, I think the new Lancer probably will still win the race despite the lack of peak horse power, as there's a lot of useful torque within 3~5krpm.
My conclusion, I missed the old day's that kind of mechanical feeling in the old MIVEC. But hey, life goes on. I truly understand 3310 has to be gone. Raba peha has to carry on... speaking of which, I haven't go back to GaGa thread talk about it wor
