Has anyone been up against a Seat Leon Cupra R...?
#6
Quickish, but not amzing standard, one of my mates has one, feels really smooth and you dont really notice the speed. My new run around at the moment is a Astra GTE 16v and I can see him off easily enough to say that if I was to ever get one, I would have to chip/remap it straight away.

I would say judging by my mates car its about the same if not ever so slightly quicker then a chipped/exhaust/-31 actuator, air filtered RS Turbo.

they are very good cars
my mate has has one but not the R, very reliable car and goes quite well for 180bhp i think
another mate was banging o about them when they forst came out of how quick his mates was blar blar, so had a quick play in my xr4x4 and just left him standing
but the xr did have a stage 3 yb cossie under the bonnet

Yes and wasted it
Saying that though as an off the shelf car I think they are superb and certainly not what you could call slow. With the right tweeks they can be made to really go well. Would have one no questions as my daily runner

Oh my.....
They have 210bhp or 225bhp depending on the year. Speed is comparable between the two. They handle well, have amazing brakes, will wipe the floor with an RS turbo, Can be taking to around the 270bhp mark for 500 sheets.
Not Cossie worriers without a lot of cash spending on them. 5 door is handy too, and decent reliability. MAF sensors are dodgy on them. And they dont have 4 wheel drive. You can get a 4 wheel drive version, but it was only available in Europe and IIRC it has a 3.0V6 in it. Its def a V6, might not be 3.0.

The myth stems from twats that buy a munter with loads of miles under its belt and expect a Ł15 bleed valve to give them a large hike in power

Ive had a play with one but only over a short distance, I over took it doing about 45mph and thought that was that, I looked in my mirror about 1/2 a mile down the road and saw it flying up behind me, I got my self into the right gear for when he caught me up, As soon as his front end was level with my boot I floored it, I pulled away from him quite will but then had to go to the petrol station.
Also had a play with an S3 and to cut a long story short He couldnt keep up with me

Sorry but i have to disagree they are quick motors!!!
Not sure if the one i went up agianst was standard or not but it was fookin quick. I was in my saff at the time (400bhp) and i had three people in the car and although i got past him easy enough i would still say it was no means slow and think a 300bhp cossie would have had trouble imo.

They are not a slow car at all might not be as quick as stage 3 cossie in a straight line but can keep them honest around a track. Charlie and Dan proved that at National day.
