Cupra R 265bhp vs VW golf r32

[speedstar]

just a thought, but what do people think is faster a stage one 265bhp leon 210cupra r or a golf R32 ? just asking because i had a go in a R32 and it realy did not feel as fast as my 03 cupra R,what do you think,

 

[The MoffMeister]

i think the r would have it the golf is only 237 bhp but 4 wheel drive

 

[james_tiger_woo]

The Golf's also big, fat and heavy.....

 

[sandy1981]

Think the R32 would be a bit heavier too.

EDIT: Just beat me to it James!

 

[speedstar]

yip thats what i was thinking cheers mate.

 

[The MoffMeister]

true the 4 wheel drive train must weigh it down quite a bit

so yeah i reckon the R

 

[speedstar]

Ive read on other furams that the R would beat a wrx subru do you think this is correct dont no much about subru's but did hear they were fast

 

[speedstar]

Tkae in to consideration that my Cupra R has 265bhp and about 285 to 290torgue

 

[The MoffMeister]

maybe not off the line fella

 

[speedstar]

yip thats what i thought but do you think it would catch it when up to 30mph when wheels on the cupra R has got a proper grip .

 

[The MoffMeister]

try one when you see it that'll tell ya haha

 

[speedstar]

yes but with my luck i would pick the wrx ppp or whatever its called instead of the wrx and get F***ed lol

 

[The MoffMeister]

never mind its fun lol

Well before my mates mk IV R32 was knicked we played a couple of times. My Cupra R is totally standard, and on a rolling start there was very little in it. In fact if anything mine had ever so slight an edge at higher speeds. Unsurprisingly he could kill me off the line. The think a mapped Cupra R would easily be quicker than an R32.

 

[speedstar]

lol not much fun sitting with smoke in your face haha. moffmeister what bhp have you got in your20v 1.8 turbo

What about the twistys though.

Sorry to hear your mates R32 was nicked. Looking forward to my new house as the car will be behind the gate etc.

One very important factor: the driver.

Surprisingly I can quite easy take a few who don't think I stand a chance.

id have to say the mapped cupra r. Ive had a run in with a 330ci and there was nothin in it tbh so cant see the r32 beating a mapped cupra r in a straight line.
as is said,depends on the driver to an extent but the drivers might be equaly as good as each other but even being 21 i do question racing on the windies!!!just not worth it most of the time!!

That entirely depends on the scooby in question . My advice....don't race an STI, you'll get burned! If an STI is remapped it should be pushing over 300bhp.

However, my bro owns an '03 wrx and even with an exhaust (among other things) and a remap he is still only just pushing over 260bhp. In standard form this particular wrx is somewhere around 210-220 bhp i think.

The key thing here is weight, the scooby is significantly lightler and it will be miles quicker off the line (in standard form the wrx is somewhere around 5.5 seconds 0-60 i believe) due to the 4WD but a stg1 LCR would most likely have it on a rolling start.

Don't forget, in some ways Scoobys are old fogie cars and there are plenty of imprezas with 0-60 times in the high 10's. They are not all turbo charged rally monsters! On the wrx front there are LOADS of variants....STI, AWD, Prodrive.....the performance varies quite significantly.
