This car also has a lower Vtec point than the EP3 which was about 5600/5800 rpm. 80% of the Vtec in the CTR acutally kicks in at 2000 rpm hence why it seems to want to got like a 'rocket' as my mother says when moving through slow moving traffic but 100% Vtec kicks in at 5200 RPM when the cams change
