Stage 2 cupra vs Standard r32

1190kg vs 1450kg

~225hp vs 240hp

Who would win?

225bhp with just stage 2? no way You will need at least a k03s etc to get that.

The cupra may win, but stage 2 is a different power delivery, you have to drive it harder to get the pwoer higher up the rev range.

Yea, guestimate on teh cupra power - not unrealistic though, theres a few non k03s's knocking around with 220-225. R32 is book.

Rubbish. Martyn pulled 226 on stage 2.

Easily achievable.


It will be very close whatever way you look at it. R32 is heavier but has 4wd.

So position the camera out the rear window for the best view of the r32 then?

I don't know why people rant and rave about the 4wd on the R32 and launching.

The R32 is FWD most of the time, it only switches 50% of the power to the rear wheels when the centre lsd senses the front is losing grip.

Its NOT permanent 4WD :p

Funny you should be talking about this today as I came off a roundabout this morning and a cheeky g1t in an R32 cut in infront of me. He then canned it down the outside lane while I climbed all over the back of him. I was expecting him to be much quicker.
