DO NOT RACE THIS CAR (now with magazine article)
« on: November 20, 2010, 06:38:49 pm »
 :grin: :grin: :grin:

Anyone read this months redline Mag yet??

there's a 308Hp Seat leon (k03), yes thats right, K03.

i quote "An evo needs needs 350hp to stop the leon coming past"  "my friends has 360Hp and he couldnt get NEAR me on a dual carriageway" "on a straight road its a nose ahead of an RS4"

and my favourite one

"picking a leon proves you have more character than choosing a boring golf"
 

legend.  its the home made heath robinson style intake pic that makes it the best, complete with REVO, FORGE GOODridge and VPOWER stickers :congrats:

just make sure you dont race this guy unless your in a k04 stage 2+, especially if your in that uncharacteristic boring golf that you ll use on here :grin:

something tells me those figures werent from JKMs rollers lol

Got to love people that think a peak bhp figure means anything.

guess it was you that graced that footage of golf v RS4.

Carl this guy is using REVO stage 2+ as well, so i think you need to get onto REVO HQ and demand your missing 48Hp lol.  either that or change or change it for a leon

Depends what your comparing it to  :wink:

I read this as well and did chuckle, i cant see how its faster than an RS4, never mind a tuned EVO. Even abuser wasnt hugely quicker than the RS4 at stage 2+ were you mate?

The thing is if you have a fair amount of power and torque you can catch quite a few drivers of more powerful cars on the hoof.

Once your going if they have reacted slower unless they have some serious grunt it is going to take a while to catch you.

I've hung on to the Tails of an M3 in my vRS on the autobahn up to circa 120mph. We then had to slow down for a truck. Once cleared he left me like i hadn't even bothered to try despite the fact i had dropped to 4th.

Owning a K03s at Stage 2+ i can quite categorically state he would never ever ever keep with an RS4 if the RS4 was trying. He might get the jump on the EVO mid range as around 60-90mph in 6th gear is not a good area for them. But it would soon reign him in. If it came to a twisty road with either car forget it. He would park in a ditch before he got near them.

But then again i did leave a Ferrari 550 Maranello standing once and it was a good half mile before he caught me up but he never overtook me. I just fail to include normally that we were both stuck in traffic on the M25 and i was in a faster moving lane than him :laugh:
