Seat Ibiza TDI Fr (with remap approx 170bhp) Vs Vauxhall Corsa VXR

[mds1256]

as title says... but which one would win. in a straight line race. just curious

 

[vwpologti]

corsa id say.

 

[FR*Man1984]

Toughie...in a straight line, the FR has the torque but, the weight difference might sway it to the VXR? Who knows? Anyone on the IOM got one that I could race against?

 

[chris285]

erm does the fr not remap to about 10-15 bhp more than that to around 180 in general??

 

[vwpologti]

depends,if your clutch is slipping then there is no point taking it to 180ish.
160-170 is safe.

vxr, sorry

remap on a 20vt with fmic etc would do the trick

 

[chris285]

vxr, sorry

true, still take an fr over the fugly corsa though

 

[RichieRich]

yup Fr anyday for me....

 

[mds1256]

yeah i have it backed off to 170 as i dont want to have to put a clutch in lol.... it was just a query that i has as i am test driving a vxr on saturday just to see what they are like

 

[chillcupra]

My cupra tdi would have it!!!

 

[Nath.]

the cupra CAN be faster and handle as well as the vxr

once you have paid for the mods I wonder what the price difference is ?

thing is the vxr will never look as good as a cupra no matter what mods it has

also what will the vxr map to as it must be quite close to the limit with 200ps from a 1.6 t vvt ?

 

[lukey]

the vxr does have to added weight of having crashed through the ripspeed catalogue though

 

[Nath.]

^^^^^^heehee

 

[Ant FR]

VXR maps to 220bhp quite easily, think both Regal and Courtney are offeing a basic map for it.

Oh and the winner, it would defo be the VXR,

 

[Poverty]

how much are these VXR corsas?

 

[GunMetal]

vxr

i drove a vxr at the weekend. It's quick but the finish inside is pants compaired to the ibizas. Definetely quicker off the line but once you get the power down in your fr and the grip up you'd get past one at about 60-65 something like thatthen you'd be awf. The vxr was good but just rattley as france with loads of silly easily scratched plastic crap

 

[GunMetal]

o

o and you can collect one with metallic paint for 14995

I see 1.4 corsas going for near that round my way. Its crazy that the VXR isnt mucm more considering.

 

[rashcupra]

im sorry but the vxr will beat the remapped fr!

 

[Mr Cellotape]
