A wolf in shite clothes
Horrible horrible cars
Honestly the worst car I have seen ever, even worse than a princess

 

[Seat til I die]

Seat Leon Cupra (mk2) 07 237 1418 169.82 6.42 15.85 9.44 14.78 96.54 14.58 98.22

Have to disagree with this . Mine has 231whp and did 1/4 mile in 14.31 @ 101mph

These must be pod times

Seat Leon Cupra (mk2) 07 237 1418 169.82 6.42 15.85 9.44 14.78 96.54 14.58 98.22

Have to disagree with this . Mine has 231whp and did 1/4 mile in 14.31 @ 101mph

With that in mind, how accurate is this:
http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp

 

[daveyonthemove]

Take note that that site makes the MK2 Leon Cupra heavier than it actially is (real weight is 1370kg) and flywheel hp on mine was calculated at 257bhp.

That site says;
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.19
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 100.71

I managed
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.31
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 101.1


Pretty close IMO.

You can cope with a couple of tenths of second differene, so thats pretty good.
Makes me happy as i don't have to drve to POD now if its fairly accurate

Actually, looking at that site, I would say some of the other times are either overly optimistic or pessimistic or the cars were either driven my a granny or tuned more than the figures would indicate;

Pessimistic;
Vectra VXR - Notes bhp wrong and claims 14.82secs @ 97.23mph
Honda Civic VTi 1.6 - 15.59secs @ 90.19mph
Honda Civic Type R (New) - 15.33secs @ 92.78mph
Skoda Fabia vRS (TD) - 18.15secs @ 77.87mph

Optimistic
Volvo S60 T5 - 14.24secs @ 100.88mph
Volvo S80 T6 SE - 14.12secs @ 102.13mph
Peugeot 206 Gti 180 - 14.80secs @ 95.19mph
Volkswagen Golf Gti (mk5 Morego 250 tuned) - 13.99secs @ 102.29mph

"To keep available data simple, we need to bear in mind factors such as torque, gearing, aerodynamics, weight distribution etc are not used"

It's a great site, I've used it for a few years now to compare etc, but it really is only a guide, but a good one at that.
