In all fairness the whole point of the drag race was to show that the old GTi was quicker. I bet the driver was told to keep the TC on because if he had got a slightly better start it would have won.
Also notice the video cuts just as the cupra is about to pass the old golf lol.
 
So, yours is the infamous Cupra that seems to quite obviously brake as it leaves the line to make sure the old Golf gets ahead...

I love Top Gear and Clarkson, but watching that it's hard not to shout "fix!".
 
Not posted in this thread for a while as I have just been enjoying the car as it is. But now it's far to slow and I'm in need of a lot more power.

So I have bought a AGU engine of eBay and have just started to strip it.
