Mk3 Leon Cupra 1/4 mile times

[Al]

Wondering how you lads with the 280's, specifically the DSG model, are doing with 1/4 mile times and terminals. Especially the tuned ones!

Cheers

Haven't bothered lol.

Haven't bothered lol.

Same here, all I've done is a 0-60 run and that's about it.

Here a 391 Hp and 490+ NM OBD tuned 280 with full miltek:

6 seconds flat @ 231.2 mph. Dusted a Veyron as well. Then on the drive home I dusted a 1000R on the motorway.

 

[Nobziller]

13.21 @119 mph
On North Weald runway so not the best surface

 

[bluenose172]

Mods? Any footage of the run?

Manual or DSG?

theres a video on you tube of a cupra 280 and a fr 1.8 at santa pod think it was in the wet though and time was around 15 seconds cant remember exactly i tihnk the fr nearly beat the cupra as well from what i can remember

 

[Shins]

The 30-130mph day is where the DSG comes into it's own. Proven to knock 2 secs off a manual over that accelerating period!

 

[Nobziller]

Manual mate, and I only Have footage of the first run which was a 14.5 and a stage 1 map

My standard 280 DSG ran a 13.7 @105.5 at Pod back in September. I have sunroof and 5 doors too.

 

[Nobziller]

Apparently at pod its up to 3/4 second quicker so would of run 12's

That's my video, The driver didn't really know what to do so wasn't the best. Cupra never lost to the FR, FR was stage 1 though.

Some reasonable terminal speeds - especially the 119mph.

As a comparison my standard Golf 7R did 12.7 @ 107mph at Crail. The Leon is quicker once on the move just like the Mk2 Leon was vs the 8P S3 and Mk6 Golf R.

119mph???!!! #sceptical

Would like to see what a mapped one would run at Pod.

 

[pulpmelon_280]

I've run high 13's in a 300bhp Mazda 3MPS.

I would expect a stock manual 280 to run similar.

Mapped should be mid 13's if you can still nail the 60ft with all that torque!

 

[Ben CTR]

I would say 12's would easily be possible from a DSG car too. This was done on a stock DSG car with a horrific 2.6 60ft time (sorry Ian.. lol).

LOL. Thanks Ben, I have that vid as well. To be fair it was a crap 60ft time which makes the 1/4 mile time even more impressive.

I don't believe I was doing 119 @ the line, but that's what they put on the paper and said I was, I looked at my speedo and was doing more like 111/110 but hey ho, wanna get down Santa pod as apparently better times are possible
