based on facts and figures, and that reading it should be anywhere between what you see there and 6.5 which to me is low 6's

6.0 - 6.4 low
6.4 - 6.6 as mid
6.7 - 6.9 as high
in my opinion.

yup, im also basing the figs on other cupra owners that are running circa 230bhp that have been timed properly
of course i cannot say a time that is backed up by proof because i dont have anything reliable for my car soley

i wouldn't get too excited about it, all of this is only numbers, if you know your car is quick and your happy with it why is that not enough?

tbh they aren't all that as std, fairly heavy n only 156bhp as std, you'd give it a good run for it's money, i'd say a std vts/106gti would be quicker.
