Regardless what year the cupra is, what engine is has, standard vs standard the 182 will always win. I know I've had the pleasure of beating them all in my 172
When the timing was out on the 182 I raced my mates mapped cupra tdi with de-cat, filter etc. It was running 203bhp, he only caught me at 120 and came passed. This was with my timing out.
Gaz get off your high horse mate, a standard tdi won't beat the 182, there's a lot more chance top end of the cupra tdi pulling past.
I've also raced the new Ibiza cupra...forgot the name. Bono...something . Still beat it, not by loads but pulled 3 car lengths over half a mile. Still nice cars
I've always wanted a cupra tdi but after pulling past a standard tdi quite quickly I soon lost interest
