As per my other thread I went to part ex my FR against a Cupra that has Revo stage 1 today. When I test drove it there was an alarming lack of traction. I put it down to the near the limit budget tyres that were on the front.

Road condition were dry (maybe a tocuh greasy), but it spun up much more than my FR would (and that is stage 2 Revo). To elaborate it spun from low revs i.e. 3k, where the torque it delvered was similar if not the same as my FR, (and yes the Cupra was faster but at 5.5 - 6 k revs) so I would not have expected to break traction at such low revs.

Any concerns with traction on you guys mapped Cupras in the dry of is it just the rubbish tyres on the car?
