0-60 in mapped 150 Leon...

I think its right to say the sensible people on here know that strugers and co are in cuckoo land with their claim (dont mean to offend with that statement) so is it best to let this one go now?

Think this thread might be ready for the scrappy, unless they want to throw up another video for another 5 pages of replies!

7.3

Thats a long way form 5.8 and mine is running mint and the best I have managed is 7.2 (regularly 7.5) which I think was pure luck with the launch and weather. Going to get mine on the rollers but I expect to see near the 200 mark but in all honesty i know I have no chance whatsoever of getting below 7.0. I have in 20 years of driving had lots of pokey motors ( reno 5 turbo corolla t sport) and think I know how to launch a car but as said in the replies by others b4 a leon with around 190 hp just cannot pull the figures you are claiming.
Sorry

Firing up my drag simulator gives my remapped Ibiza 6.7s to 60, and 15.3 for the 1/4 with a terminal velocity of 90.4 (not to far off my best) to get under 6 seconds it suggests an Allard stage 3 power output would be needed and a nice grippy track. (Actualy it sugests an Allard Stage 3 would be spot on for ~5.8 0-60)

I'm at around Allard stage 3 and a half, and the simulator doesn't really work then. Tyres seem to dictate your times around that kind of power, with an allard stage 1 and an allard stage 3 probably having the same 0-40 simply due to tyre grip. This is evident in my best Santa Pod time of 15 flat, but with an ET of 96mph - My car pulls good once it actually gets some grip, but up to 40mph I would say there's not much between mine and a normal remapped pd130.

It's not the simulator that's not working it's your tyres.

True, your .3 of a second behind me on the 1/4 time but you cross the line around 2/3mph faster.. another few seconds and you'd blast past me
