   imo it depends on how the cars been driven, how its been serviced, how many of those modifications are working as efficiently as theyre supposed to, etc etc.
   
   too many variables to see, plus when u drive a car ur not used to its bound to be faster.

   Engine servicing, there could be something wrong with your silvertop? And how many miles have they both got on them?

   as above your silver top could have been abused in the past and may not be running to well, also the 16 rims your running will slighly decrese your accleration compared to a vtr with standard 14 rims on, plus as said your not used to that car so it may feel quicker when infact isnt

   What year's the silvertop? Could be a 90bhp silvertop.
   
   The blacktop coulda had the gearbox replaced with one thats got sensible ratios. Opposed to the VTR box which is silly long and poo for accelerating.

    Shorter gear ratios, means you will be able to accelerate faster
    
    Try a rallye gear box

    Depends what he wants really, if he wont be spending that much time on the motorway tehn he wont need his final drive as much.
