   hey, so i bought a vtr yesterday and ive been driving it today, it doesnt seem to be as fast as what it should be? when i put revs on the exhaust doesnt sound right? maybe im just being paranoid? when i put it into 2nd i expect it to be quick but it feels like i have to put my foot right down for it to pick up speed? it is a standard vtr with no exhaust bt when im driving it it sounds like a shit exhaust?? would it be that, that could be making it not as fast as it should be? thank yoouuuu xxx

   hi a standard vtr should hit 60 in around 10 seconds flat out, time it and see.

   didnt you say you had a 172 earlier? maybe you just not used to drop in power of the 2 cars? and with the exhuast, my exhuast split at the cat once and i lost sooo much power i could barely get over 40

    very true, my vtr seems very slow and laggy when its below 2k rpm, theres just no life in it until about 4k rpm..
