That's right - they did a 4wd 2.8V6 Leon Cupra in LHD. Leon Cupra 4.
204bhp I think

Everyone that is sayng there slow has a heavily modded car. A leon with a simple remap would beat a usually tuned erst ie zorst chip filter type spec. O and imo they would probably be about the same as a standard cossie and obliterate a standard rst.

There not slow there just standard

A mate of mine has a mk4 golf with ihi conversion basically about the same spec as a stage 3 cossie and thats running 319bhp

The 20v motor is probably one of the best tunable engines out there at the mo thats y i'm going to squeeze 400bhp (hopefully) out of 1 and put it into a 800kg mk1 golf

Ive got one, dont think its slow. Would the same be said about the Civic Type R then? Are they slow? There was a post on here the other day asking which was better and I think the general thought was the Leon and the civic where pretty evenly matched.

Never had mine up against an RS of any sort but I would expect an older car (RS) tuned (more power, less weight) would beat the Leon. Dont think they would leave it standing though.
