The Mountune map for the latest Fiesta ST isn’t covered by factory warranty like some of their other maps traditionally are.
Possibly due to less tuning headroom in component quality on the 3cyl engine.

Good video showing the Mountune equipped Golf R giving the 400bhp RS3 a run for its money! Not bad for £1200 of work.

To be honest the standard R wasn't far off the pace of either of them.  Would be interesting to see the rolling starts done with a TCR also :whistle:

In real terms, not that much but in drag race terms the standard R was left behind. Think a TCR would be behind the standard R?

Interesting to see as I guess the TCR would have less weight so once moving may have an advantage?

Yes, that's true. Bet the TCR would give the CCS a good spanking. Carwow did a great race and the GTI P pipped the CSS to the 1/4 mile line  :cool:

Fractionally less weight and fractionally less power/torque.
Would be a really interesting head to head.

Are the weight and torque changes proportional to one another? That'd be a deciding factor

They’ve set the levels very politically!

Mind you, on that link posted on here with the TCR versus the Renault Megane the historic R lap was quicker than the TCR.

I had a fairly extensive 'play' with a 7.5R the other day on A-roads and dual-carriageways, in the dry. Either he was a bad driver and/or the GTI punches the weight advantage massively over the R, whichever way there was very little in it. It was only off the mark from roundabouts where he had any advantage. In-gear he couldn't shake me and up hill (on sweeping dual carriageways 60/70mph) I'd even go as far to say that I could gain. I think it would have been a different story if it had been wet though.

When we got the bit where he went his way and I went mine he was rubber necking round and gave a huge thumbs up.
