Funny I just read that somwere?? Lol still the turbos got the torque

 

[t32er]

turbo has torque - R32 has TALK

Ive never understood the rivalry with "other" marques really

if ive ever spotted the likes of an r32 etc, ive looked forward to just having a little play, nothing more,

Theres always something faster outthere, no matter what you've got,

I wouldnt say they're getting worried about the lc/lcr lot, just surprised how well they go,

Ea but getting worried sounds better

i dont mind the vag lot, i have a lot of respect for them all, i still want an R32!!
the only one i do hate and its a huge one for me is the bloody Civic R there always looking smug with there stupid wineyyyyyyyyyyy revs and ther fancey "bucket seats" and big red badge.....

Threads from 2008 I think they upgraded the forum so it looks different

Probably because when the summer goes and traction goes along with it - the AWD will be king again

I used to chase a MK4 R32 around Milton Keynes in my old Leon, could stay with it no problem in the dry, soon as the roads were damp / greasy it was a pointless exercise.

 

[cupra-barn]

If and when i see rival cars i just look forward to seeing what the leons can pull on other cars.

It's all just a bit of light hearted banta anyways lol

Agreed light hatred fun but I beat my mate in his type R the other month and still won't let it go he's starting hate me lol he keeps saying he gunna turbo it but think he needs to win the lottery first

audi , seat, skoda, vw, all seem to be much of the same, even if on different price brackets,

even down to the JDM yo!! lot, its a laugh having a play with the likes of civic's and integras etc, and to be honest in a straight line usually killing them

but when it comes to the corners, the integras for sure will have any leons owners pants down, fact, it still amazes me how a 14-15 year old car can out handle far superior cars,

Having had a MK5 R32 I will agree that the R is close to it but then far away in other aspects.

From still being active on the forum people always state to me that once mapped the Cupra R will be quicker in a straight line but get to the bends and Im sorry but its a whole different story.

Its that age old discussion really but if you ask the majority of R32 owners if they bought the car for all out speed they would say nope, as I found its about the package.

Id have bought another one but then I would never want fellahs in my house again taking my keys.

I cant wait to get my R mapped haha but then that noise will never be replicated... R32 exhaust anyone?
