4.7 to 60
12.6 to 100
if these stats actually mean anything - I just take it that it's quick.
The 3rd gear overtaking accelleration is supposed to be very quick - have yet to try. I think the S feels very quick from 70 to 100 so it will be interesting to see how the VXT feels as I didn't get a chance to leather it on the test drive.

Nice choice Dave 
Toyed with that change myself!
And for info, the GP track will NOT be open on the Friday and Saturday, as there's some Porsche weekend on or something. Sunday wasn't mentioned though.

the GP circuit is not so interesting... but it was fun going down the start/finish in Honda formation..
the surface is smooth and has a lot of grip.. and some of the gravel traps are now replaced by huge run off areas..so it's hard to get a perspective of the corner..
I think it all probably knackers your tyres/brakes and suspension more than the northcircuit..

The GP circuit is a real experience, just because it's interesting to know what its actually like to drive it and the thought that F1 cars hurtle down it literally twice as quick than us 1.29 Schumacher, 3mins me 
Also like Kobe says there is bags of run off so it is the part of the circuit you can really go for it 10/10th without worrying, but it does knacker the brakes and tyres.

Last year it wasn't open Friday, but was Saturday/Sunday/Monday, so hopefully even if there's something on Friday/Saturday they'll still open it for the final two days.
The guy I went with last year found you could skip the GP circuit by going down a side road.
