cupra r vs 350z

[cupra r rick]

my leon is now running stage 2 re-map 275-280 my friend borrowed a 350z last night n couldnt believe he couldnt catch me up.

i was 3 up aswell obviously top end he started to pull it back but he wasnt catching me up till then

so if u do come across a 350z pass him poking your out lol

They are very heavy cars so that's not surprising at all really. I came up against one a while ago and thought 'why not' so gave it a go. He was pulling away from me gradually, but not by as much as I thought. I think a Stage 1 LCR would be even if not slightly ahead.

Yeah not suprising at 276bhp and about 1600kg, my Ibiza is a match. IIRC the 06 models onwards have 300bhp @ same weight but all the same.. Nice cars.

 

[cupra r rick]

lovely cars n i love goin in it just big heavy car, we both had alot of fun tho

Just sold a 350Z and bought the Cupra R and I am 100% convinced that with a remap the cupra r will be pretty much bang on the same as the Z.

My cupra r as standard feels quicker than the Z ever did (but that's the feel of the turbo kicking in for you)

Both great cars though.

Remap it and see

Will be similarly powered, but LCR is 150kg lighter than the 350 and will have more torque

350z = 276/268lbft and 1525Kg
LCR = 270/300lbft and 1390Kg

RWD transmission losses are also slightly higher than FWD losses, but then traction is going to be better in the 350 than what it is in the LCR

Well once you get that Hybrid turbo working with correct boost then you should beat one surely?

Just dont try it against one with a turbo conversion lol!

I can whip 1 now even with an under performing hybrid, got more up my sleeve than just that

They are nice cars, and yes with a turbo conversion in that 3500cc lump they are going to be something special

 

[cupra r rick]

the new 1s are 301bhp n the cupra r still did well, gotta get me exhaust n samcos this week so still got abit more in her
