You know cos they have less torque, do they not spin up as easily in wet/slippery conditions?

ill admit pound for pound id say the CTR is a good car.
but the illusion of it being/feeling mega fast is the fact that it doesnt pull until on vtec really.
good example would be my mates lancia intergrale and my mates mk4 astra gsi...the lancia felt silly quick compared to the astra. very similar power, but the lancia felt quicker because of the lag, whereas the astra is very smooth in the way it delivers the power.
same in the CTR case its nothing(as such) then balls out
