It is faster than the VTR yes and has a lot more torque due to being a 2ltr. Hit 5500rpm and it really comes alive.
Handling in standard form is f*****g amazing imo. For a standard car it don't half hold the road well, Renault definitely did a good job in the suspension department - kinda makes me not want to lower it lol.

Ofcourse, it's not a crazily powerful car. It's not like i got in it and went 'wow, this is bloody quick' but it's definitely fun and quicker than the vtr. A massively better car too.
