We were at the front of the cue when there was that big hold up late on, lots of grumbling going on around us. Good spill though managing to write off an entire drag strip

Simple point for me was a remapped Cupra allegedly pushing out 260, 270?
It was a remapped Cupra NOT AN R, this would have been pushing about 210bhp.... less than the WRX without PPP.... so the Leon did mighty well.
If it was a Cupra R remapped, the WRX would have been beaten

I except that some of my poor times were down to my own inexperience, and I can shave a few tenths off, but there is no way that I can get that car under 14 seconds. It just runs out of puff, at about 80mph.
Anyone got any ideas on what could be wrong, or what I do to it to get some better times?
Thanks
If the results are still not as they should be, then it may be worthwhile having the car diagnosed on a RR.

A chipped Leon Cupra should be hot on the heels of a WRX PPP, no problem, this just proves it, yet again.
Good on the guy for posting his times, and that of the Cupra

nice to meet you on sunday martin
the start line was a joke! it was like skating on ice my car was bouncing off the line. my best was a 13.1@112mph so not too bad considering my 60ft was 2.45 secs
i normally average 1.9 60ft's so absolutely no grip!
