in a straight line again the cupra it would be close, against the 210bhp cupra r there would be no point in trying
not sure what the cupras are like round corners, but Rockingham Speedway use them for the Johnny Herbert experiences round a tight twisty track so i can only imagine that they handle pretty well
Wouldnt it be..........in a straight line against the Cupra it would be a simple victory for the Cup, and against the 210bhp Cupra R, it would be close?
0-60 for the std Cupra is 7.7 and the Cupra R is 7.2 - allowing a bit for error, neither come very close to matching the Cup.
Maybe the turbo shove would give it better 60---> performance, but I dont think a Cup "shouldnt try" against the Cupra R - its a heavy git, and not as quick as its bhp figure would have you believe!!
Well i was left a little up in the air as i didnt know when it was arriving and the bloke who i was dealing with went on holiday and the sales manger didnt bother getting in touch like this bloke had asked him too.
The cup is fun and im enjoying the drive, much better than a 14y/o Ren 19 gts lol
That was just the cupra not the R . ive driven a cupra R and IMO the cup is as quick if not quicker to 60, catch the engine off boost and it is sluggish , not much in it though , 6 speed box gives it an advantage for quieter cruising , and a higher top end. The steering was very vague , no where near the feeling from the cups and the handling was good but its a heavy car , rolled more and understeered quicker than the cup , good car but not as focussed as the cup. but thats just my opinion.
I raced a leon cupra, it wasnt from a standing start but i was pretty surprised.

Na Cupra would hammer a CUp teady. Even my car would struggle against the Cupra
LOL..Yeah mate as my novas fitted with a VectraV6 in it!
EH?
DUH! of course i do
I raced a cupra round Kingston one way system in my valver, he got off to a good start but when he took the first bend which is uphill and bends sharply to the right I could see the backend on the cupra really twitching, I kept with him but was very reserved on taking him as his car looked seriously unstable on corners. As there was traffic about i think if I started to get more competitve he may loose control of the motor. Was good fun tho, by the way this is a twisty bit of road if it was straight he would kill me.
