Yeah just checked it myself and its 6.7 - his one isn't modded. I've got DSG though as well as launch-control, so I should be able to give him a proper go!

Ohhh yeah! Its great but I'm yet to find out how many times I can do it before the warranty becomes invalid!
I love the LCR, but echo the comments made above. My last car was not an LCR, but instead was a 2004 Toledo 1.8T tuned to beat most tuned LCR's.
However, as nice and good as an LCR is, the LC is superior in most ways. Also, if you put a standard LCR on a 1/4 mile strip against a standard new LC, this is what happens;

And the MK2 Cupra looks good too - I never added the Aero bumpers as I dislike them the same as you appear to
And yes, they have been known to smoke Asbo's, VXR's, Subarus and the likes. Underestimate them at your peril and think about the fact you need a GT28 on an LCR to match the performance of a well mapped and modified MK2 LC with its standard turbo.
LCR all the way...I have tried both standard and true the MK2 is a bit faster and a bit stiffer chasis...that youtube video is not actually representative. That is a 210... there are 225's, also tires are much better on the new cupra...I have had a go in my 225 with filter and exhaust and it pulled away very little we both had fresh tires so I think that made a difference. With my Upper front and rear strut bars the car is just as stiff.
Also remember the LCR chasis was hailed by many technicians its weak link was the suspension.
Also for what LCR's are costing these days the extra £££ of a cupra you can use to tune an LCR to a better standard.
IMHO its also better looking, better sounding and far more unique as the LC looks like an egg or a normal leon and even a VW golf.
One of my best freinds father owns several Audi, VW, Seat as well as the Porsche dealerships in Mexico City...his weekend racing team runs LCRs when I asked why they hadn't changed to MK2 they said they prefered the LCR for several reasons...insight from pro's.

well this has got to mean something at least...
The LCR is a nice car, just getting a bit long in the tooth, performance wise, you just need to spend a rather large sum of money to get the very best out of it, judging by your sig....
