VRS vs RS3


Recommended Posts

I lost. Quiet badly..........

 

It was only a 0-40ish drag from the lights but in cold damp conditions I struggled to get the power down. He was perfect. Suppose that what a 400bhp 4wd auto with launch control does! Over 50k? I suspect so. It did sound nice aswell 

 

Oh well.... now where's those pesky corsa's to boost my ego..........:D

It was fun to try and nice to see a car driven as it should. Too many old cogders driving serious machines and driving like Mrs daisy. 

 

And yeah I know a totally different league, i just like to try an provoke people. A guy in a 911 wouldnt even rev his at the lights when I pulled up along side him!

I nailed an 'R' in my Diesel VRs once.

 

 

 

Then ran out of first gear and watched the tail lights dissappear with a rude bark of a gear change in my face...

I'm not a lary young lad in a fiesta, I'm a middle aged man in a Skoda who loves nice cars and just wanted to hear him rev the nuts off it. And for all the Porsche driver knew incoyld have been in a 245vrs and gave him a bit of trouble off at the lights.

I doubt a 245 would trouble a Porsche at the lights... My 220 VRS got slaughtered off the line by a 184ps 320d the other night. Really struggled to get the power down from a standing start. Was funny sailing past once traction was good though B)

I had considered a remap now I'm out of warranty but I don't think it's worth the hassle anymore.

Oh, but it is. Q car and all that, everyone these days knows now that the vrs is a lamb dressed as a Malamut, so why not put a bit of doggy back into it? It's hilarious when you do. The Mk2 was the best for this I think, the FL Octavia just shouts it too loud so everyone can hear you coming, and laugh.

I do like the VRS' subtle ability to surprise and extra power only furthers this... but the struggle to put the stock power down at times + the additional insurance hassle (expensive quotes, mainstream insurers not being interested) etc. means I'm not sure it's worth it.

I gave a bloke in a 428i coupe a run for his money after I had my DTUK box fitted

 

He looked a little miffed a Skoda had just shown him up after paying considerably more for the bimmer 

 

 

 

 

Yawn

Gotta love the optimism, right? Tuning box, remap, hell it will make your car into a space rocket! Though a remap might make you grin a bit, a box wince less, and a remapped petrol laugh occasionally.

Octavia vRS Diesel is not even a warm diesel let alone a warm hatch IMO.

 

 

thats why the petrol Gods invented remaps and tuning boxes. To stop all those stock vRS diesel owners to gurning about not having enough power. I struggle badly not to lose grip if i'm showing off.

Get better tyres, surely you can get to 70 mph under control.

 

What would 'petrol gods' have to do with inventing for Derv burners?
