Hattie, what have you started?? Good thread. :cool:

BTW, had a tussle with a leon cupra r last night in my little old 8v.? Short straights and 90 deg bends and guess what, the gap between us at the start was the same at the end!!!? On the straights he would gain a bit, on the bends I left him a bit, chuffed to bits.? That's probably where the low down torque and 200KG less helped, his extra 110 brake? :shocked: over mine didn't help him one little bit.

I know, I know, over longer straights blah blah blah.... :laugh:

Thats 2 Seat Turbos I've played with on this particular stretch and the first one couldn't leave me (Ibiza Cupra R) and this one couldn't catch me.? The first one had a race with my mate and left him for dead, he was driving a Nissan 300Z, "buts its got umpteen squintillion Brake" he says, but its not too good round the twisty stuff? :grin:
