Thanks for the info tfboy. No I don't work for a bank. Chump

Thanks for the welcomes. Look forward to driving it! My mistake about the weight - you're right. Problem is that this car is a company car that i'll only have for 9 months before having to get another new one. I only do 9500 miles in 9 months so it won't really have chance to loosen up..... :( Incidentally does the AMD map thingy just plug into the ECU? I could probably get away with adding some more power whilst I own it as long as i can reset what ever changes are made at the end of the 9 months. Going to Jabba would be the best option but can I be arsed to travel.....can I ******. So a plug in job would suit me better even if it yielded less power.... Chump

Hi all, I've just joined so sorry if this has been asked before. I'm about to order a Fabia vRS. Now I know that there is soooo much more to a cars power than 0-60 times (torque, in gear times etc etc) but I see that Skoda rate the vRS at 9.6 seconds. I've heard though from a number of sources that in reality this is more like 8.2-8.6 seconds. Can anyone confirm this? Personally I think that a car weighing little more than a 1100kg with 130bhp must be quicker than a Golf weighing at least 300kg more with 130bhp and a book time of 9.7seconds???? Or am i missing something? Cheers Chump
