Cupra vs Cupra R

[shnazzle]

That's just purely badge snobbery and bragging rights tho, not common sense lol.

+1
Yet this is indeed one of the main reasons I wouldn't give up our R for a Cupra

But sense speaking; id have a Cupra with leather interior, heated seats and Cupra R exhaust.
Really don't like the Cupra oval tip.

So, what I want really isn't far off the R anyway...but those alloys...

Nothing to do with badge snobbery, otherwise i would have bought a S3,

you could argue the same about purchasing a leon FR tfsi and remapping that to be quicker than a standard Cupra/Cupra R

Justifying cost :roll eyes:

And no matter how much you throw at it it will never be a Cupra R

For me my modding has nothing to do with trying to make it an R. Its nothing special the same wsy that a standard cupra isnt special. Anyway "in theory" those r's are so far back in the rearview youd need hubble to spot them my target is 400 with change and all plug n plug only. By my reckoning thatll give me the fastest car in town power to weight ( its a shitty town but a small town nonetheless). That makes it one off.

Don't see what your point is

You could have saved more money and got just as good a spec if not better

As you say you have done with your cupra

Of course its badge snobbery lol. I think it was yourself that said to me the last time a thread like this popped up that given the choice of mine with all its mods and a standard R for same price you'd have the R because its the R.

K04 conversion isnt cheap......

 

[shnazzle]

I'd have an R because it's an R...kinda did get the R because it's an R haha. When we went looking, we searched for "Cupra R" so it was a conscious full badge-bell-end decision.


Happy we did

preferring a slower car with a badge on the back

typical badge snobbery

Remap would take it to above the power of a cupra

[Crafoo]

Omgggg not this again lol

I'm staying out of it this time

I'll just leave this here



Someone this thread please!!!

 

[shnazzle]

Needs some work haha. Can't wait for cash to free up

lol your argument is totally flawed


you are comparing a car with a different engine to a cupra, it has f**k all to do with the argument

I may well have done, Yes i do like the fact its an R as when possible i like having the top version of anything i purchase

The New Cupra is a better car, but I can honestly say for me its not a justifiable cost

hahaha it just gets me wound up tho, i know people are happy with their R's but it pisses me off when they look down on the scum that just have a normal cupra

 

[LeonCR]

lol your argument is totally flawed


you are comparing a car with a different engine to a cupra, it has f**k all to do with the argument

And you are comparing a car's with different engine components

I'm using your own logic

no you are using the logic of a bell end.

 

[leonmk2cupra]

Dont the r's have the speaker inside to make them sound better?
Mine is just a cupra so it didnt come with one, so i fitted my own speaker. I called it a 3 inch downpipe. Think i did a better job than Seat

 

[LeonCR]

no you are using the logic of a bell end.

So now resorting to name calling haha
