Friend at work has a 225bhp Leon Cupra R, she had it chipped yesterday.

It was fast before, but now, WOW!

It really has trouble getting the power down, but we still managed a sub 6 second 0-60, and with better clutch control, we could have knocked a fair bit off that.

Im very impressed ECLIPSe.gifnotworthy.gifECLIPSe.gif

I found the standard 225PS Cupra R a handful.

I dread to think what it would be like with 260+

I imagine chipped will be fun in the wet, but in the dry, it copes pretty well. You cant give 100% in 1st without Mr Traction Control throwing a wobbler, but other than that its fantastic. The mid range acceleration is stunning 169144-ok.gif

My Cupra R was/is a 210bhp model.

Had it nearly a year now. When I got it, it already had the Revo SP3 on it.

275bhp and 307lb Torque make it interesting ECLIPSe.gif

In 1st gear it really is quite difficult to get all that power through the front wheels down on the tarmac even with the ESP trying it's best.

With the ESP off it spins the wheels up to 3rd gear blush.gif

The torque realy can pull without having to shift down a gear.

For the little ammount of driving I do these days, the Cupra is a great run-about and quite a bit of fun 169144-ok.gif
