Mk3 Leon Cupra 1/4 mile times

If you can get some uk road legal soft compound auto cross tyres (dmack or r888 soft) they are great for rwyb days.

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

Yeah, makes sense mate and much more official. Sounds like there speed trap needs a good calibration if it's nearly 10mph out (factoring in speedo inaccuracies). It would of still been a good crack though I'm sure?

Are you modded at all?

 

[Ben CTR]

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.

Absolutely mate.. You just need to pull your finger out and get it mapped now

There's not much on the net regarding mapped Mk3 Cupras from what I have seen, but I can only imagine them being a fooking animal once rolling given the results the Golf and S3's are getting and them being lighter with less wheels to pull..

I think I should be worried tbh

Both my other runs were around 109/110 so I believe t was around the same, and yes mate, it is mapped, and I striped all boot out as well lol

I cant post links yet... but just watched a video on you tube: stock manual - 14.1 on a non-preped runway, with a bummed launch.

I'm pretty confident a stock manual car is good for high 13's no sweat.

I reckon I could of got sub 13's with a better launch but ****ed it up, also with better tyres, so at Santa pod easy 12's

In my opinion a stock manual could just get into the 13's but it would have to be a good launch. I reckon mine would do a 13.5 with a good launch and with the supersports on but mines dsg. A mapped manual may squeak into the 12's at pod but it woukdnt be easy because of the launch.

A mapped 280 is about 350-360 fly wheel HP right? So that makes for a 250bhp/tonne car.

On a street tyre (best you can hope for is 2.1 60ft really) I would bet money on low 13's - 13 flat.

For 12's in both a manual and DSG i'm thinking a drag radial is required.

For example the Americans often use Nitto NT555R as a street legal radial for this purpose.

I did 13.27 on a runway, so 12's is definelty possible

That's cool, if you can run 12's on a proper FIA sanctioned track with road tyres - I'll be the first to congratulate you

I've got some pilot sport cups to fit, as my bridgestones are **** but when I get it done I'll
Let you chaps know
