@Neuroguitarist 7 лет назад

So let me guess: You drive a Seat, right?! Always the same excuse. *laughing*

@43854586 7 лет назад

I don't drive any of those cars, I drive an Opel. You can see the Seat starts moving 1/2 second after the other cars, the driver fell asleep or simple didn't dump the clutch at a high enough rpm compared to the others.

@Neuroguitarist 7 лет назад

Well that's the problem with the Golf GTI, the Seat and even the manual Golf R, too: He mentioned it several times in the carwow-videos: You can not dump the clutch at high revs in the VAG-manual cars. It will drop automatically to protect the (supposedly too weak) clutch. The more power the engine produces the more this will become aparent.

@Neuroguitarist 7 лет назад

In this EVO test the Cupra was tested with cup-tyres which are Semislicks whereas the Type R is only available on normal street tires (Conti SC6). And that makes a huge difference.

@Neuroguitarist 7 лет назад

There are several tests in magazines here in germany: With normal street tyres on all cars, Type R always wins on racetracks. With Cup-tyres on GTI-CS and Cupra, whereas Type R only has the street-Conti 6SC, Cupra and even the GTI wins. It's so simple.

It comes down to taste and whether you can live with the looks. At 58 years old, I would feel a very silly in the Civic, although I love Honda cars. I've just ordered a regular GTI, through carwow and I agree with the presenter about the savings to be made. The 16 week wait for delivery is harsh though.

@nishaannundkumar4670 5 лет назад

I don't understand how the golf edition 40 lost when it has that power for 10 seconds from 3rd gear as how long did the quarter mile last for. There is no standing quarter mile time. How long did it take from 0 - 100km/h, and from there in 3rd gear till the finish. The time just doesn't add up.

GTI has the same engine as the R. But VW tuned it down so it wouldn't challenge the R. All you need to do is go to a tuner, remove the boost and go for a Stage 1 and boom the car has 365hp, and would destroy the other 2 cars. Also the interior is far more exclusive

@domonicwilson3578 6 лет назад

The Cupra also has the same engine as the R and the GTI. So if you staged 1 the Cupra it would destroy the other two also, and an R as well since it has less kerb weight at the top end but same engine.

@mkhpv 7 лет назад

What's the point of having extra power for 10 seconds? It turns out, that when you're going fast constantly pulling full throttle, you can't understand where those sacred 10 seconds are, right? E.g. you were accelerating from 60 km/h to 190, then braked to 110, then accelerated to 200 - the second acceleration won't have the extra 10 seconds advantage?

@Ratcher 7 лет назад

You have the 10 seconds again every time you lift your foot off the throttle. So virtually in real life you'd have 290 most of the time. Except on a free Autobahn :-)
