My 2014 280 SC DSG has a claimed 5,7 and back then Auto Express tested it in two seperate issues and got 5.5 both times, so it doesn't sound that quick to me.Reviews are good so far. Even read that it's better at handling it's power than the CUPRA (but I believe it was being compared to the 300)
It's official 0-62 is 5.6-7 secs as compared with the CUPRA at 6 secs. Even seen a video of reported 5.5 secs for the TRC.
The GPF has given it a very similar tone to the CUPRA as well.
Styling wise add the sides skirts and the oem front lip and CUPRA is much better to look at.

sorry to hijack this thread, but since we already on wheel hopping ... don't get it very often but when I do it's violent
what is it actually? why is hopping? I had other FW cars and the wheel was just spinning, but no hopping, why Seat/VW is affected?
The wheel hop is the same in Cupra due to using a cheap front sub frame where as the Golf/S3 use a proper bonded Aluminium one. Cost cutting at It's finestI'm not sure if it's just me, but the wheel hop in my MY19 is far less pronounced than in the previous Black Edition 290.
I was quoted 30k for a new base Golf R but there was a 6 month wait.wait so how much is the golf R going to be?
I've done a few recorded times and I was lucky to break 6.5 on the 0-100 in the dry with stock tyres. I've tried all methods but couldn't break the 6.5 mark!
Do you have the new 290 or 280sc?I've done a few recorded times and I was lucky to break 6.5 on the 0-100 in the dry with stock tyres. I've tried all methods but couldn't break the 6.5 mark!

nice but over priced, ... 36k ... i stick to the Cupra which was 10k cheaper and just as much fun
Fiddling with the differential, the torque limiter and the XDS settings via OBD should get the same results from a Cupra. There' no mechanical differences. Plus, automann TV managed to get a stock 300 to 100 kph in 5.2 seconds.Reviews are good so far.
