What is a remapped VRS as quick as

[H8WOTVRS]

yeah true, most likely was the drivers !!!

[grr666]

Fabia vrs is unfortunately now becoming the local mcdonalds car replacing the citroen saxo

As much as I hate to say it having owned my own Fab vRS,

you can now easily pick up one for under 3k and that puts in reach

of the saxo boyz. Had to LOL that someone reckons they are quicker

than a S4 Leave it out!!

My remapped VRS did the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

[Mk4 cupra]

I'd like to see a mapped vrs vs a standerd Ibiza Cupra tdi pd160 always wonderd what would be qwicker from standing start and rolling start

[joe_vrs_tdi]

That golf gti a mk1,2,3,4,5,6,7? 1-3 then yes and even the crappy mk4 1.8 and 2.0 n/a engines maybe but mk4 1.8t onwards no.

Did you get a trophy? I won that a few years back, was my first time down the strip done terrible but still beat the octavia that was there. All my mates found it hilarious that I'd won.

doubt the 150bhp 1.8T mk4 was much cop standard

[MattyD]

Mine is remapped apparently 180 brake , and I lined up two gtis 56 plate shapes , one was remapped and they couldn't keep up... Fly past them , two different occasions

really??? a remapped Golf GTi, 240ish brake horse power against your 180? They cant drive properly then can they.

This thread wants locked and deleted forever!

What a load of complete nonsense!

unfortunately very much true

[rich53]

Stage 2 hybrid fabia vrs's can keep up with a mk2 focus rs. wont go past one, but you can most defiantly match them on acceleration to way over a 100.

Im running around a 'quoted' 230-240bhp.

[BossFox]

I like threads like this, would be silly to lock it.

If I need cheering up I know where to look.

Your having a laugh mate, as your Leon is ten a penny common as muck compared to a VRS, at least where I live. Just for the book mine keeps up with a civic type R within the speed limit, yes the driver stopped to comment on my car. I have also slain numerous cooper S's (admitted lady driver most time lol) and Fiesta ST's. They stay with me to 3rd gear then it's bye bye. Also a Golf DSG 200 bhp beasty could not pull an inch on me infact when we hit a steep hill he moved over. People hate our vrs's for a reason .

So if Im reading this thread right Fabia Vrs's are crap!?

[Ad Lav]

I just think owners think they are invincible with huge anounts of torque when racing lol

Not saying they are crap, I had one and loved it. Old tech now and the wallop of torque is now spread out on new diesels.

Same reason why I have subscribed to it!

That last point is why, to me, the VRS mk1 is still a fun car to drive over a lot of newer ones.

My mk1 SE was highly tuned and would annoy TVR drivers at Santa Pod and M3 drivers at Brands Hatch.

Just, it could be the driver, but it was still a lot of fun.

Got a stock mk1 VRS now and it's still a nice car to drive. A punch or torque making fel quick and you have to actually drive it.

I much prefer it to the mk2, even if the mk2 is quicker.

It's a shame that in the quest to make the later cars better (which they are from a speed/refinement perspective) some of the fun element has been filtered out.

[RAPTURE]

Just a quick comparison though a Scirocco R ate me for breakfast. They are quick.

Should start a new thread "What is a remapped Fabia Vrs's SLOWER than?"

[TeflonTom]

Lol at this thread....

although I did push a v6 Clio up the motorway slip in my felicia, when we got out onto road I gave him the thumbs up and he waved and did the same, he went his way and I went mine..

[grr666]

Was he wearing oven gloves Tom?

If he was then he'll be posting on you tube soon saying how he pwn'd you.
