Sadly i reckon that you may struggle against both. Before i bought the cupra r i test drove a st and they do pull rather hard. As i was told they dont need to spool im sure the turbo is instant. Good luck though dude and just remember your only racing yourself not the guy next to you.
Unfortunately I'll never know if I would have won. My engine destroyed itself today

Well this was an interesting discussion nonetheless
Hope you manage to sort something out with the car mate.
I'm going to watch anyway, my time will just have to be my paper one!
PS: It was not my engine it appears to be the cluch/gearbox thats destroyed itself

A good bit cheaper and not with such big consequenses.
Best of a bad situation.
Any hints it was going to happen?

go on lad do us proud.. but as said above the CTR's are not a slow car mate
i would'ny say ctr's are all that quick eaither i have a tdi 150 and that makes then work hard its about even between mine and a ctr i only ever lost a race to 1 an that was'nt standerd
About 2.5K would be about right, at 4.5K I have to lift off a little to stop wheel spin, this is in an unmapped LCR though.
if i do 2.5k its like it has no power,when i lift off,the revs drop and take 10 years to pull away...il shall get practicing!
Do you accelerate aswell or try and hold it at 2.5K?
It does take practice and lost of fun.
If 2.5K isn't enough try a little more till you find what works best for you.
One of the many things back roads were built for

iv got a great empty industrial estate behind my house,long smooth road,had some practice there - and managed to ruin my tires lol,going to switch the fronts with the backs and try again.
i lift off as im reaching 2.5k. i found i launch better with 4k but with wheelspin,then i ease off and push on again to regain traction,bad for the wheels,good for the launch i guess.
il attempt the 2.5ks again
All I can say to that mate is you have come across a lot of wet drivers. No way in hell a 150bhp TDI Leon will stick with a properly driven CTR. You could easily catch one out, but if on the ball the CTR will hand you your ass on a plate mate...
Simple facts..
Leon 150bhp - 1300+ kgs
CTR 200bhp - 1200 kgs
Torque or no torque, just aint going to happen with equal drivers behind the wheel..
That pretty much sums up CTR's. Very good car with the right driver.
Just that most owners dont have a clue how to drive them.
as i said earlier, hold it on 3k drop the clutch then any wheelspin can be controlled with your right foot (maybe balance the clutch a little if you feel the need)
this is what i nfind makes a good start, as said though practice makes perfect
just try not to destroy byour clutch!Similar threads
