^^^^^maybe its because unless you use specialist equipment you cannot measure to 0.1 of a second! a stopwatch will give you a rough guide eg 0-60 in approx 9secs but its impossible to be anymore accurate.

but anyway enough with the science, good luck for tomoro and i hope you get what you want. no point getting too hung up on figures its the thrill it gives you thats important!!!

very true, it's this or a type r next year which would be more expensive i reckons!

i need it to be ready for when my friend gets his back in december, i wonder how much closer it'll be! mine will have like, twice the torque to his

Before i got the cupra i looked at Type R's. For the price i got my brand new cupra i could have got a Type R that had +30k on the clock and looked like the previous owner had kicked the s**t out of it. Plus Type R's are common as muck! I know i made the right choice and im sure you have too - your car will be a wolf in sheeps clothing!!!!

it's amazing considering our internet connections are basically carrier pigeons
