Lets have a day at the Strip, see how our shopping trolleys fare against those big butch boxters..............  il bring the Linvoy the Leon, shud have him bk in a few weeks...... muhhahahahahahahahhaha Supercars can suck my nuts

[charri42]

It was tongue in cheek Jord. But, running standard, isn't a Boxster faster than a leon Cupra R? Its certainly significantly quicker and more aurally satisfying that a TT 225.

Anyways, its the twisties handling, brakes, economy, comfort and residuals I appreciate the Boxster for, not the grunt.

BOO YEAH!!!!!! good one toph

an yeah, but only on paper, an as for handlin, iv driven a hella lot of cars and iv gotta say the cupra R is probably the best set up standard car iv driven. Touring car handling !

[The Doc]

. . . and I thought I'd heard it all 

So what touring cars have you driven?   

[RandomJord]

Dude .......... did u not know i Drove BTCC last year?


You didnt?



Well thats cus i didnt but thats beside the point, have you driven a cupra r?

My homosexual next door neighbour has a Cupra R in black. He says its a lovely car for cruising to the salon, lots of space for styling equipment and lawnmowers for his uphill gardening activities.

It gets the mean boys excited, which is a big boon for him.

Has been known to break the odd nail on the downgraded brittle Seat interior trim (that low down stuff where u put your handbag), but other than that, it drives very nice and handles the Trafford Centre car park with aplomb.

And I agree - for a mk4 platform, the Cupra R I test drove seemed nice and sharp. Had I been looking at a new Mk4 turbo a few years ago, I would deff had one of these.

Yes I have driven and re-mapped planty of Cupra R's and I have also driven and remapped ex-touring cars and the two are miles apart from each other as they would be! For a start one costs 15k the other costs 150k up! and one is for the road and one is ONLY for track!

BTW it's not besides the point it IS THE POINT - you said "cupra R is probably the best set up standard car iv driven. Touring car handling"

I have clearly driven a LOT more cars than you have. I wouldn't say that the cupra R is anywhere near the best standard set up car on the road, for example the MK5 Golf GTi runs rings around it as the CUPRA R is based on the old Mk4 Chassis - abeit at its best bar the Mk4 R32 (IMHO).

BUT I do like the Cupra R A LOT

...................bet you havnt driven a rocket tho!!!...........


on a serious note, Doc, is it possible to get a Cupra R to run 400+BHP?
