Cupra vs Cupra R

[shnazzle]

Yup same here. There was a white on at Evans Halshaw. Around 20k I think. Looked immaculate.
That interior is a bit too hardcore for family use though

I drove a press car that the RS owners club had.Drove it for most of the day and was impressed.Build quality wasnt brilliant though and the rear spoiler tried to fall off when you shut the boot.Awesome performance,noise and handling though.
Shame it couldnt pull on my 265bhp R26 Megane and didnt handle as well

Yeah very nice and look better with the wrap off.
Old RS500 better though

Always wondered how the RS compares too the cupra straight line speed wise.

Standard RS versus standard cupra??


Not a fair comparison really


I kept up with one when I had my last cupra (which was stage 1). Don't know what the RS was putting out. Probs standard tbf

With the right bits, you will show up a Focus RS with over 100bhp more on the track. I did

Also depends on the driver

We aren't all pros like you Al!

Well the RS is 300bhp if i remember rightly so against a stock R say with 265bhp would there really be that much in it down a strip? I know there's more to it than simply comparing bhp, i would have thought the RS would have come out on top but not by much.

RS is quoted at 300bhp, but I sure I read that they very rarely make 300. In fact, Evo did a group test where the RS was down on power

2.5T in the RS tho isnt it. Has a better 0-60 apparently but i don't really believe any of that crap

I should be getting 34MPG in my cupra with "mixed" driving lol.

So conclusion of this thread: if you can't decide between getting a Cupra or CupraR....get a Ford Focus RS

lol, for the price of the Focus RS I would rather have mk6 Golf R.

Yeah 2.5, i think the system the RS uses for keeping the power under control from the front wheels is far better than the cupra, might be why it's a tad quicker to the magic 60mph?
