Acceleration

[M12ETM]

Within the TSi models Cupra/Boc/FR if you have a car with 4/5 people is the pull on it noticeably different?

Such as a standard 1.4 accelerating with 1/2 people or then with 4/5 people?

Extra weight results in a slower car maybe not so noticeable in a big engine high powered car but definitely in any Ibiza. Hence the reason why manufacturers like Farari go to huge lengths to make their cars as light as possible.

Was just wondering if the Turbo and Supercharger would counter that much

Thanks!

It does make a difference but not as much of a difference as I was expecting. 5 up and the car still moved quite nicely. With my old 1.6 106 Gti 5 up the car felt like a 1.1!

Actually, it does make a diference. With only me driving the car was about 6-7 sec faster from 100km/h to 200km/h than with 5 people and full fuel tank

It makes a huge difference, a car carrying 5 people will be an awful lot slower than one with just a driver. Looks like Vtxracer went out n tried it lol
