No.
Hmmm, I had a salesman tell me variable valve timing had to do with
the transmission... I didn't laugh till I got home.

That salesman needs to talk to one at my local dealership. He explained
that the "i" in "iVTEC" is what makes the engine able to rev high
without overheating. With VTEC being such a valuable trade mark for
Honda, you'd think they would sit their sales people down and explain to
them what it is.

When I bought my first new car (87 Nissan Pulsar, still running at 175k
miles) I was asking a lot of questions...silly stuff like, does the car have
power steering. The salesman actually told me I was doing too much research!
I'm not even blonde!!

For the record, it was a Nissan dealership.. The kind salesman was
attempting to sell me a Nissan Murano with a continuously variable
transmission. CVT and VTEC and valve timing all sound alike after
awhile.
You'd never believe it, but we didn't buy a car there.
