Good time.

Here in town, the real spec is 60-100 as most road ragers know.

See if you could time that. The VVT should respond very well.
I checked one of my in-car track vids, and I'd estimate 60-100mph at around 6.5 seconds, maybe less. The speedo is not 100% accurate, so I checked my scan log from the track run.. and it was 6.2 seconds exactly from 60mph to 100mph during one of the runs. :-)

My 0-60mph from that same run was 4.0 seconds flat.

But that was with slicks of course.... The 60-100mph would be the same or less on the street, but the 0-60 would be just over 5 seconds because of traction.
That agreat time for 60+.

I always like using my FJ1200 motorcycle as a benchmark.

It goes 60-100 in 2.9 seconds in just under 100 yards.

Since my motorcycle is torque monster, I like comparing numbes to see what kind of torque is built into other vehicles.

The last stock VVT Montes were blessed with a lot of torque across the rpm ramge.

I raced my friends 03' Nissan SE-R and it didn't seem like it had the power to keep up, or i'm a really bad driver lol ...
