Ed30 beaten by a CTR

[illyun]

3 WORDS??

GET AN R32


And then put a supercharger on it

Yeah but the only problem then would be having to slow down as I'd only get 10 miles to a full tank

yeah mustve been tuned , the torque curve on the ED30 should annilate it 
I think your 'friend' should get a remap anyway , as not remapping a ED30 is a waste

Thats what I thought. I know the CTR's are quick, but I thought the superior bhp and torque of the Ed30 would show themselves at that speed - not that I've ever driven at that frightening speed...  that would be insane 

[Komenda]

On a trip to Germany when I had my CTR, I struggled to get my standard car over an indicated 150 so in reality I was probably doing 140. They are tricky cars to extract any decent power out of unless you supercharge/turbo them. Once thats done though I wouldn't count on catching one.

Thats what I was thinking - he said the CTR's surge in power at that speed reminded him of an M5 he had once taken on in his standard Mk5 GTI from 30-60mph but then it was bye-bye GTI...

The Ed30 pulled away slowly upto 125mph but then let the CTR catch up.

Yeah.. that sounds fair he shoulda pressed the loud pedal all the way

i nearly fell of my seat reading this , i had a 53 CTR and no way would it live with a standard GTI above 100, let alone Ed30, the car has no torque, 0-60 it would murder it, but on the motorways it was crap, if you wanted to blast past anything say doing 80, you had to drop to 4th otherwise you would look like my mum trying to overtake a tractor  come on, come on, keep going!

No problem in the R32

I remember toying with a ctr a few months ago in my previous Focus ST on the E42 to Liege,  My focus was running about 290hp and the civic must have been std.  He caught upto me and I stayed in 6th but put my foot down and basically left him(very quickly) I then let him catch up again and proceeded to leave him again I think he got abit pee'd off so I just left my foot to the floor at just over 155.
