as close as the competition is, it wouldn't surprise me if the difference was a suspension alignment difference (which can make a big difference). the tires are the same specs

as close as the competition is, it wouldn't surprise me if the difference was a suspension alignment difference (which can make a big difference). the tires are the same specs and the car still weighs the same. its not like 15 more hp is going to suddenly change the dynamic characteristics. from what i've heard, the VR was heavily revised though, i think it got new heads, cams, exhaust manifolds, etc. i think it retained the already larger turbo piping and intercoolers from the '12. think the exhaust was also a hair larger stock now too. they "revised" the suspension again but i think that was only for foreign market where they have the asymmetrical setup for RHD cars to help balance them out side to side
