Leon FR TDI blew me away

[daveyonthemove]

On my way home from work today i was stuck behind 1 lorry on a B road, behind me was another lorry and behind that was a New Leon FR (could tell by the mirrors) with the sports body kit in Black.
When it was safe to do so, i overtook the lorry in front, and when i checked my mirror the Leon at the back was taking the lorry in front of him, and also the lorry i had taken.
I pulled back in and decided i'd give him a good run, so i floored it in 4th and got my speed up pretty quickly. NOT QUICK ENOUGH
This Leon was all over me, and i had no chance of pulling away. We come round a corner to be greeted by a car flashing its lights to warn of us of police ahead (i counted 4 police cars and 1 van over 500 metres) so had to slow down. The MK2 driver pulled in to a junction just after the first police car, so i was spared humiliation at the next stretch of road
Untill today i thought my FR TDI was quick, and being remapped it should have pulled away slowly, but it didn't
If the driver of that Leon is on here, fair play mate, that is one quick car
Looks like i'm going to have to get phase 2 incase we meet again

I suppose it could of been a petrol FR TFSi with a remap

 

[daveyonthemove]

Its possible. was bloody quick. What would one of those map to?

 

[DanGB]

anything around 280

anything around 280

No wonder my 190+ bhp struggled to get out the way quick enough

It could have been a petrol 2.0 TFSI, they are 200bhp from the factory and from experience they are pretty rapid

At least it was another SEAT and not a common BMW or chav-mobile LOL
I can live with that

It also depends on whether the Leon behind you had started to overtake before you did, therefore gaining momentum on you which would of been hard to shake off over a short blast.. For example, he was probably doing 70 when you were doing 60 and you've got to cancel that out before you even start about pulling away..

You're telling me a TFSI will gain 80bhp off JUST a remap?
Can't see it myself...

Your right there, but to be fair you know when a car is quicker, and when he did overtake the cars and catch me up, he had to slow down to my speed and when i floored it, he was on me like glue
I'd love to make some excuses, but the truth is, his was much quicker

Good to see you over here fastbaz

Would have to upgrade the clutch first, but it would be around LCR (standard) figures i would think.

I did tell you to go diesel Andy, and i stand by it, but there will always be a quicker car no matter what you own
