Car was done on the dyno. S/w only.

I am confused...did a stock Cupra TDI beat a tuned 320d?

I should have checked first, what is the power rating of the Cupra?...i know they are extinct in S.A.....sorry, "discontinued production"; and they are aparently built on the VW platform...other than that, i know zero of these cars...
I know the 320D & 120D chipped are not wonderful off the line but we come in our stride from 3rd gear onwards and then it pulls strong untill it runs out of breath...i am with the owner of the 320D (Paul) on this even if we lost the run....next time we keep the outcome closer:thumbsup:

tashen, those German drivers are crazy...imagine driving from Bonn all the way to Munich...okay with stops in between...in the fast left lane @ 180km/ph and then you still have to give way to quite a few audis & beemers going even faster...and still going....eish the autobahn is something...strangest of all is there are speed signs 130km/ph on the autobahn but it really does not mean anything

Honestly thought the beemer would hand me a few cars.
All fine buddy, as i said me know nothing about the Cupra & Leon...but with a body;Tq & diesel like that one can build a serious competitor...post a picture if you have time....:thumbsup:
Previn, your car is amazing for a stock Cupra & I mean it when I say that. You have a real sleeper there it seems. Most stock Cupra TDi's run very similar to stock Polo GTI's based on what I hear from drivers of both cars but your car is in a completely different league to those cars with low 15's already under its belt & the fact that it can outperform it's big 177kW K04 turbo Leon Cupra brother over 400m points to it being a Wednesday car of note. A friend of mine with what must be one of the fastest Cupra TDi's in the country recently asked me for a friendly run against his car when I'm down in his neck of the woods sometime. I don't race much at all these days but may just take up his offer for the fun of it, just to see what happens since I've never ever gone up against a strong modded oil burner. His car has run lowish 14's I believe.BfOrKeD said:118kw 330n.m ... In a 1180kg body.
With an able driver. Can shock many big cars. I also ran ahead of a leon cupra until 4th gear when he passed
