1.not sure but arse fell out at 135mph,think that was about its whack,maybe a touch more
2.180bhp standard
3.very happy

now for a re-map and i'll be fekin ****-a-hoop

 

[sscpfc]

is there much difference between the cupra and the lcr?

 

[leedsalex]

i run a 2000 cupra, like said before 180brake as standard, i've had mine at about 130mph on the moterway but i bottled it well before the car. very happy its the most fun i have ever had in a car and i've owned faster cars. there is honistly nothing i have driven that i would rather take for a early sunday morning b road blast

 

[sscpfc]

im getting excited now.tommorow cant come soon enough

 

[leedsalex]

ha! what exactly are you getting? is it standard? i've had my cupra about 3 months now had it remaped a few days ago its a great car as standard but the remap has taken it to a whole different level

 

[sscpfc]

yep standard i belive.pretty new to all this

 

[superstar151082]

my standard lc i had completly flat out!!! On the speedo it was showing 149 on the sat nav it was showing 141 which is what the manual says, well 142!!!

the weather was perfect for my high speed run down the m5

 

[sscpfc]

that will do me fine,think my bottle may go by then anyway

 

[seatcupra]

Will you be happy... Oh yes i expect so!

Had mine 2 years and and still love driving it!

There quite thirsty buggers though...

 

[andycupra]

your buying a car and you dont know the basics?
have you even driven it?

top speed... does it matter?

 

[superstar151082]

bottle has never been a problem for me, in jerez ( 1 of spain's moto gp circuts) i was getting 193 through the timing beam on my race bike and i love it!!!!!!

 

[sscpfc]

yes but had the wife in the car and she is not to sure about turbos as had a bad experience with a punto hgt.so didnt go mad with her in it

Top speed is more than you're likely to hit, so I wouldn't worry about that. And don't get too caught up on 0-60 times as in a powerful FWD car, that's really not the strong point... midrange acceleration when on the move is the fun part Power is 180bhp, so plenty to have some good fun

Exactly what I was thinking.

Your buying a car and you are asking basic questions which I would have thought someone would have researched before considering "buying tomorrow". I have been doing my homework for around 1 month now and I think after about 10 questions, I am happy that I will be buying the Cupra-R.

Just wondering what price you are paying for the car and whether it would be a sensible option to buy a Cupra-R instead since you are asking top speed questions etc.

As for the Leon Cupra;
180bhp (can be upgraded via a REVO remap upto Cupra-R standard for around £500)
Top speed is around 135mph (although you won't be hitting this on British roads of course)
I think you will be happy (but depends of course if you are coming from a Citroen Saxo or a Ferrari Enzo I guess)

Cheers - Cobraman

I've had over 135 out of mine. No mods. BHP should be ~180. 0-60 is around 7.7 secs

You'll be very happy if you get one with the basic problems sorted.

Namely, imo, Door Seals, Temp Sensor, Coolant Level Sensor, Coil Packs - not overly expensive, but annoying and potentially damaging.

 

[daniel_owen_uk]

What are you driving at the minute? And again what are you buying (year, mileage, price etc)?

Had mine just over 6 months and it's lovely, flat out 130 then bottled it definitely still wanted to go more though.

Have fun.

1. I've had a speedo indicated 145mph and it wasn't done pulling (private road of course) which is probably nearer 140 true speed
2. 180
3. hell yes

 

[invisiblekidgaz]

Daniel, did you get that down the A61? That's where I've had my top speed

 

[TimBarratt]

Top speed is pointless but according to Seat it will do 143mph and 0-62 in 7.7. It will also do around 30mpg.

Also get a front lower strut brace fitted it improves the turn in no end.
