Just driving back from guildford tonight when my mate wanted to play in his DC2, so i followed him, got to a set of traffic lights, gunned it then i saw another set of xenon headlights behind us, thinking it was plod i shat my self and pulled into the inside lane when a 330 clubsport flew past, i was still in third so i chased it, my mate was out of vtec, fucked up his gear change and was no where to be seen 
i thought these bmw's were quick, but i stayed with it all the way, even through bends, wish i had the corsa, would of wiped the floor with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

330 BM's are not a slow car - I struggle to leave one but they cannot gain any on me

wot of the mark or rolling at say 50?
off the mark obviously as you have traction, rolling the transmission loss would allow the cupra to pull away.

plus my mate has an S3 and when he got it standard we raced (210 BHP version) and mine used to pull harder higher up te rev rabge with the VVt and I would be able to pull a couple of car lengths from a rolling 30 mph race
He has had his remapped and now it just pulls away

yeah but still, a stage 2 ibiza should be holding at least 18psi to about 6krpm! i would of thought he'd leave you. oh well.

thats what I thought and he was well gunning it as white smoke was being produced from the turbo when he was changing gear
Stage 2 will be around 23 PSI i would have thought or 1.5 bar

funny things cars, you'd expect a ferrari or a porsche to leave a corsa, not the other way around
