Not sure if it was a B16 Del Sol but I beat one tonight

Heyo, took down a Del Sol tonight in the Outback. Raced from a 20 roll. We started from a sharp left turn and he was on the inside so he pulled a car on me right away while I rolled into the throttle on the outside. When it straightened out I pulled even with him and then put a car on him at the top of 2nd gear.
How do I know if the Del Sol had the VTEC B16 in it? If I recall it was available in one of the production years, maybe two. This one had the extra lights in the bumper. It looked identical to the one in this pic:

what do you mean it had extra lights in the bumper?
the only way you would know if its a b16 del sol is gonna be the badge it has on the back that says VTEC.

Some Del Sols have the two little driving lights by the hood and some don't. Those are the lights I'm referring to.

They quit making the "Auxilary" (sp) in 96. As stated above it would have a vtec badge, unless swapped or obviously debadged.

You can tell if it's a VTEC sol by crawling underneath and measuring the sway bars, the 8200 redline, and the VTEC badge that may or may not be on the back of the car. People like me take that sticker off so you can't tell.....

That Outback is quicker than you'd expect! James, was the VTEC crossover pretty noticeable?
