I posted something similar on the thread to the above. I found it really funny that everyone on Pistonheads is so happy that Renault broke SEATs record. I was expecting the reaction to be negative because Renault have gone mental [basically built a race spec version of the megane] just to beat an amazing time set by SEAT and cost 8k more in the process. It just shows how good the SEAT Leon Cupra is and how much you have to modify a Megane to get anywhere near.
Everyone was complaining at Pistonheads that SEAT used uprated brakes, removed aircon, lighter wheels and nicer tyres. Now Renault basically strip the car, uprated suspension, exhaust, remap, wheels, tyres, seats and everyone at Pistonheads is super happy.
Smells of badge snobbery to me and goes to show that SEAT as a brand got a long way to go to change peoples minds. Should I say, better educate them?
