vts vs ctr on a 'good' track  like say kames????? a vts will win be a good few seconds. in a straight line tthough the ctr's will be quicker. new ctr's im on about though. the EK9 ctr's are a hell of a lot better car than the new 1s imo.

the vts is a class little motor as standard, but you really have to have to be taken out in an ek9 to understand just how good these ctr's actually are.

yes the EK9 is a good type r. but the EP3 is disapointing for what it is imo.
