Today I was left in dust by skoda Octavia vrs. My c30 d5 had no chance with that skoda. Monday morning I am going to blood bank to sell some blood to get money for shark remap lol.

Diesel or petrol Skoda?

Still quick they are. Maybe it was tuned as well?

Regards

EDIT:- The diesels are pretty quick and the petrols pack around 200BHP and on a par with a T5

I've had the same problem too, where I raced against a VW Passat 2.0 tdi 177 bhp, 62 plate, and it kicked my A*SE! Not a great feeling when you see your car struggling to keep up

i have to admit it was 62 plate VRS but still (few years ago i had seat ibiza 130 bhp 1.9 tdi tuned to 180 break so i know that those engines pack a punch). My D5 lacked torque so hopefully after remap it should be better. Correct me if i am wrong but with remap in automatic they do change settings in gearbox asweel? in my case that is the biggest let down gear changes takes ages.
