vr6highline28 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 .... no i'm not a boy racer (far too old for that now) and normally take it pretty steady - last night i ended up trying to keep up with a cupra 'r' which i must admit was marginally pulling away (to be expected for 225 bhp car 7 years younger !) from the lights up an incline - after a while i started gaining on it (once doing about 90+ (private road of course !) - obviously he may have eased off though i've found it hard to find any suitable mid-range figures to compare - anyone got any ideas ? by the way i dont care that the cupra is a faster car - its just for interest !

Eat this 2 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 if urs is standerd the leon is quicker all the way through the rev range however mines got similer bhp with a bit less torque and weighs less low down the turbo wins upto about 3500 rpm but after that mine is quicker than a standard leon (i know i tested it) but then u coud always chip the leon and end all doubt hehe Link to post Share on other sites

vr6matt 0 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I still prefer VR'S over the 1800t, for driveabilty, sound, and grin factor Link to post Share on other sites

badboyV6 4 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 ive had a run in with one on the motorway and was quite surprised i could keep up all though he was pulling away slightly... and i really had to make perfect shifts...We then both came off the motorway and got to some lights. Both floored it and i managed to gain quite a lot of ground on him... Link to post Share on other sites
