Question

As some of you know iam currently looking for a scooby!
I was given a test drive in two cars today. The first was an sti 5 type r coupe with 34k miles. The car was lovely. The acceleration was brilliant and i generally enjoyed the car.
The other was again an sti 5 type r coupe, only diiference was that it was a V-Limited. I got the feeling that the power delivery was weird to say the least. There was not much lag therefore smooth power delivery with not a lot of kick back once the turbo cut in. This example had about 28K miles.
Both cars were standard. Is the performance of the v-limited that i mentioned normal???
Any input appreciated.

Regards
