i think the standard 0-100 time is 24.4 secs, with a remap you should see 100 in 20secs or less?
standing quarter for standard is 16.5secs

Your terminal seems pretty low for 200bhp/302lb/ft, mine was at 95mph on my standard map, I know it pulls much harder through the gears now after the remap and think it'll be around the 100mph mark through the 1/4. Your 60ft time's the same as mine though (slow as 5hit
)My last car was pulling 107.9mph, 60ft in 1.5s & 1/4 in 12.59s
My times were recorded on Crail's 1/4 mile equipment, imported from the States a couple of years ago to the tune of ~£5k so it's reasonably accurate although the surface is p1ss poor for grip - as any of the Straightliners crew will confirm from their visit last year - they were reporting times approx 0.5s slower than other UK strips, and they should know.

I meant standard, but now that I think about it, it's probably about right....24sec just seems an awfully long time
I think that I could probably improve my times and indeed terms by actually shifting up earlier on the strip, but old (petrol) habits die hard. I don't think there's anything wrong with the terminal of the beetha, as my old fiat coupe used to make 97-98 mph with 220 odd bhp and 1 less gear change. I think before you and I can accurately compare we need to have the cars timed on the same strip - of course.
As for the 60 ft time you're doing pretty well in a fwd in road trim, unstripped to get 2.3 seconds, very good to get a 2.2 and fantastic to get a 2.1 . To get sub 2.1's you really need slick/semi slick tyres and a lightened/stripped out racing snake. R5 turbos will do ridiculous 60 foot times like 1.7 seconds when well sorted.
For reference, the clio v6 does a 2.2 sec 60 foot time when 'launched' by side stepping the clutch at 4,500 rpm.

Was yours chipped when we had a play? Can't imagine Crail being 0.5 slower than other tracks if thats the case id run a 13.6 in my current spec. You planning on heading upto Crail in February when it re-opens? I'll be heading up with my next round of mods and will be hoping to hit a 13.7/8.
That is very impressive, what tyres were you running? It is a very light car which helps, but even so, amazing.
My brother (chris Cupra R) on here said his secret to the 13 1/4 mile was same as a few others have said, peeing before hand and only wearing light clothing and slippers!!!
we are working out how we can remove the panels from the car for next time.. weight is time!!!

I do exactly the same, gotta redline that gear...then think damn, where's the power gone at 4.5k
I think in order to get down below 2.0s 60ft times, realistically you need an LSD to put the power down. An R5 GTT doing 1.7s 60ft times? Can't be many of them about...that's close to my Pulsar GTiR 60ft & probably simialr to most Imprezas
Clio V6's just don't impress me, so much potential, but poorly executed...I raced the Fast Car boys at crail a few years ago when they had theirs & whooped them no problem in my MR2 Roadster which was doing 14.9's....much better with a Clio 172/182 IMHO. (unless you plan on doing major mods).
Neil, yep it was remapped at that point, which is one of the reasons you pulled away out of that corner - my clutch was slipping like hell
which is why it's on the standard map at the moment.I'll probably make an appearance at Crail next year, have done every year since it began
although depending on my next house move I may be in a different car (petrol for the strip ) and hopefully back down under the 'teens' Cheers

Ok I have added one of these babies to my 'Christmas Wish List' as nobody has a clue what to get me
... I hope it's not too late to see Santa coming with it in his sack - just hope he doesn't test it in his sledge 1st Seen them for £35, do you think it's worth the money? or should I put a different model on my list?
Alpha
MrM - the 5's running those 60 ft times are on drag slicks and will weigh about 550 kg at a guess. Think the best 1/4 for a UK 5 is now 11.4 seconds at Santa Pod, crazy.

yeah definately worth it. you can plug it into your mates cars aswell for comparison! i've got a whole list on my PC. see if this works.
i paid £30 for mine from e-bay i think. with regards to acceleration it does 0-60mph and 1/4 mile. some of the more expensive ones do 0-100mph i think but there alot more money.
& a VR6!!!
yeah but it's only a 0-60mph list. alot of those cars up the top would beat me as the speeds get higher. the REVO golf anniversary is a very good race with me to 100mph+ and the other REVO golf you see on there has got 19" audi rims on his car thats why he's not as quick.
i can sit next to my mates MR2 turbo till about 90-100mph then he starts pulling.

nick are u on pgac...had the gtech as his avi?
i had a gtech a while back but it pissed me off having to wobble it all the time to get it level otherwise its unaccurate but i got 9s in my old 206 which was cool
