Hi i'm new to the forum.
just brought a 16v, what a car it is..

What do you think the outcome would be between the the two cars, coz the spec on both cars are competitive... thanx

I wouldn't waste your time racing one mate. You'll only end up upset.

dunno mark. pete test drove one and they are quite quick all round. mk2 gti handles well but the cupra is no slouch either.

The 1.8T is only 150 break ??  ???

I take it the main difference between the variations of this engine are the boost levels running eh ? ? ?  (MAIN difference I'm sure there's others before someone get their silly hat on  ;D)

the ibiza won't be any faster than the 16v in standard form, once its been chipped then forget racing one  :D
