170mph seems a little ambitious.
I have the Performance car magazine and they are comparing the Focus RS, Revo's Cupra, The Scooby STi and the Renaultsport Megane R26.R
Renault = 60mph in 5.8sec, 100mph in 14.9sec, 140mph in hahahahaaaaa didn't make it
Focus = 60mph in 6 sec, 100mph in 14.2sec, 140mph in 36.1sec, top speed 146.3 mph
Scooby = 60mph in 5.3 sec, 100mph in 13.1sec, 140mph in 36.1 sec, top speed 145.3 mph
Cupra = 60mph in 5.7 sec, 100mph in 12.5sec, 140mph in 26.9 sec , top speed 158.4 mph
Top speed done in 2 mile run.
Quote from magazine
"When it comes to in-gear muscle we find ourselves once again in Revo's realm. Put simply (with the exception of 20-40mph in fifth where the lowdown grunt and gearing of the Focus nosed ahead) the Leaon was the quickest over every speed increment and in every gear, more often than not by a significant margin. Even saying that doesn't do justice to the way in which this car accellerates though. Never mind what gears you're in or what revs you're holding, because it won't matter. From 1500rpm there's decent shove. At 2500rpm this turns to enough urge to push you into the seat back. Then, when the needle touches 3000rpm the real show begins, the Leon switching into a whole new realm of accelleration that doesn't even think about dropping off until 6500rpm. I can't think of many other cars that would make for better overtaking machines"
My point....even a 360bhp Revo car cannot get to 170mph in 2 miles, so the Autograph claim is a little "overambitious" :laugh:

That will have been about 170 on the speedo, maybes thats what there going off??
Just as a little comparison mine was hitting best part of 116mph in 12.6 so would be interesting to see what the 0-100mph is!! 92mph is done in 8.2 seconds so maybes around 10??
Hehe.. Love my little Golf!! :laugh:
chungster:
that 170mph figure is an estimate don't forget, so they've probably just bigged themselves up a bit but haven't actually tested to see what it will max out at.
cohiba:
Great bunch of guys, they are doing some work on my car. Also testing out a d valve with no electric supply with a very strong spring inside, which is suposed to retain boost better throughout the rev range and react quicker on the throttle, which is probably similar to the forge one that is being developed. :rolleye:

Was taken out in that Cupra today and can confirm the in-gear acceleration of the thing was like nothing I have ever experienced from a FWD car before :scared: :scared: :scared:

This is a standard 200PS gti, but a tad pricey for me :laugh:
