You know you're a MKII Fabia VRS owner when.....

[fabiamk2SE]

Careful you don't laugh at any Fabia owners tho Martyn or they may embarrass you at the lights lol ;-)

My htp catches up eventually.

Usually when they stop off to top the oil up.

You are always going to be left behind by a m135i, you get what you pay for, well you will at the traffic lights if the driver gets it right.

Odd how they are just not so quick when they are booting them from around 50 mph.

 

Logic Lee posted a VID before of one accelerating and there just is something not right about how they have all that power and can get left behind up to 100 mph or so.

& it is not just on Videos it happens.

Must be TC cutting power or something.

& then they are carrying a fair weight.

Thats pretty quick for a car isnt it?

Trying to find a 0-120mph or 0-100mph time for the mk2 vrs

Any ideas?

Can't say I've ever noticed a lack of acceleration from 50-100 in mine. It feels pretty savage to me with a brutal and relentless pull.

Guy on a bmw forum recorded some performance data on his car (all be it with a tuning box on for abit more grunt) and it posted a 60-100 time of 5.0s. Which is mighty impressive if you compare it to this lot:

Audi R8 V10 4.8s

BMW Alpina B5 E60 4.8s

Westfield Sport 2000S 4.9s

TVR Tamora 4.9s

Christ. Just seen how long it takes a vrs to get from 100mph-120mph

[Outofthi5world]

When you put more liquid in the front than in the back.

I'm presuming that's a mark 1. The Polo GTi was somewhere in the 9s

The rest of the stats are for the mk2?

[Rooted]

The BMW figures have a 'Source', for where they came from.

There is no doubt they are fast, if the driver gets it right, in an Auto most will, some just take it for granted they do not need to give it the full monty and are left a little embarressed.

That is not the cars lack of pace though.

the vRS figures are not far out for a standard other than the Typo to 120 mph, no 'Source' given for the figures though.

(They are actually the times some Stage 1 CAVE get, and Standard CTHE can.)

 

A Standard CTHE can do the 1/4 mile in 15.55 seconds with a start at lights, so that includes reaction time.

When you floor a car when you want, the timing is without Reaction time.

 

That is the Different from Manufactures time if they do them for real, go when you want, and Drag Strip times.

 

PS.

Actually the errors are 0-70 which is 7.8 seconds

0-80 9.8 seconds

30-50 is 2.5 seconds,

50-70 2.7 seconds

 

Not sure where Auto Express get this m135i 50-70 from

I don't know about you, but it doesn't take mine nearly five seconds to get from 60-70! I think there may be an error there. Just saying [emoji56]

I havent got one, so i dno hahaa.

Does seem rather slower than i thought though

[@Lee]

you know you're a MkII vRS owner when you check on Autotrader and discover seven year old diesel MkI's sell for more than your 1.4

[Rooted]

Very True.

But then a mk1 vRS 7 years ago cost more than a 3 month old mk2 vRS can be bought for tomorrow from a Skoda Dealership..

They say in the article you quoted that the M135i "blasts" from 50-70 in 8th gear in 7.5s. Don't know about you but I dont think i would try to blast anywhere in 8th! 3rd gear would be more appropriate for that test I'd have thought.

Anyhow that's probably enough off-topic content lol!

When spark plugs fail a 25k and dealer won't upgrade to a more suitable plug.

yeah, that happened to me! :P

 

when..... you cant buy any modified parts, so start looking at mark I vRS stuff and asking "will it fit?!"

[Ally_bassman]

When you can't understand why the majority of people on Briskoda call it a bad car. :-(

George - The Casanova of Briskoda!

...when even owners of other Skoda models think they can hang crap on you.

[MidlifecrisisT]

That tingling in your balls every time you floor it

[Ally_bassman]

When you see an Octavia VRS in the rear view mirror and think.. OK fella, lets see what you've got.
