monster top end with shed loads of torque
my chipped 20vt biza pulled 151mph on the clock and wasnt screaming the engine like mad
defos go and check one out you might like them more
backed up with vag build they are top cars for the cash

But it has the same focus as the cup, stripped out track day car with minimal toys and a few grand cheaper than the normal type r.
Embarrassed to say
LOL. I know the cup is defo quicker than a chipped 20v ibisa. If this is true than surely its as quick as a teg.

IMHO none of these cars are rivals to the cup -lupo/polo gti, ibiza cupra r, mg zr 160, civic type r, 206 gti. Rivals would be williams, corrado vr6, teg, early golf gti, the best fwd cars etc - not saying the cup is as good as these rivals though.
My mate has a 106 gti thats chipped, full stainless, induction, modded head, lowered to deck 15 inch alloys and we are inseperable on straight roads. 0-60 I can just about pip him but there is nothing in it. He could easily take me on tight roads as long as the road is smooth. He bottoms regularly. Fast little bugger though. Im very impressed with it.
Embarrassed to say
Seat ipisas not a rival though, its a lard bucket golf underneath with harley davidson inspired handling. Cup is a stripped out lightweight hot hatch, its only current rival is the dc5.
Get a few more bhp out of it and this might be a contender?

470bhp v8 fezza 430. Although I am uncertain, the cup may just have the legs on it by a whisker.

Maranello, 24 August 2004 – The F430 signals the arrival of a brand new generation of Ferrari 8-cylinder models. This new car takes Ferrari’s extraordinary achievements with aluminium technology, begun with the 360 Modena, to a whole new level, and offers a series of extremely significant innovations directly derived from the Ferrari Formula 1 single-seaters.
Two of these innovations are world firsts for production cars: the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the steering wheel-mounted switch (better known to the Formula 1 Scuderia’s drivers as "manettino"), which manages the integrated systems governing vehicle dynamics.
The other main characteristics of the new F430 are its light, compact 4,300 cc 90° V8 engine, which punches out 490 hp to achieve a specific output of 114 hp/litre, also providing the new Ferrari berlinetta with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.8 kg/hp (dry weight); a braking system with carbon-ceramic discs for optimal efficiency under extreme use (optional); a Formula 1-derived gearbox that cuts gear shifting times down to 150 milliseconds allowing the driver to make the very most of this truly high performance car (0-62 mph acceleration in 4 seconds flat, a top speed in excess of 196 mph) and an aerodynamic design that embodies the very latest competition technologies, specifically the flat underbody and large rear diffuser to increase downforce.
The car will be officially presented during the Paris Motor show in September 2004. The UK price and specification for the F430 will be announced prior to its UK launch in 2005.
