Re: The truth about Fabia RS 0-100km/h
it depends on the state of the car when its timed, skoda do it with a pasengers, loads of fuel, luggage etc i think so obviously it can go lower with less weight in it

Re: The truth about Fabia RS 0-100km/h
I agree with the above. Turn the asr off. Also, don't rev it so high, you're wasting time revving it almost to the redline imo.

Re: The truth about Fabia RS 0-100km/h
turn the asr off, and dont rev up to the redline. 4k is more than enough on a standard vrs. I could get it quicker than 9.3 seconds.

I agree, there's no point going any higher than 4k really!

(Im pretty sure that time could be chopped slightly )

ASR off isn't going to make the world of difference. Factory figures, and thank god somebody is proving that it doesn't to 60 in 7 seconds.

Agree

On my many many runs at Santa Pod I find TCS off is better.

Re: The truth about Fabia RS 0-100km/h
Urm ASR off makes at least 1 second difference as it totally kills the performance. And that's with decent tyres. If you have the slightest loss of grip, your engine power is cut.

Why are you taking it to 4.5k as well I find it better to change at just under 4k.

Wow, what conclusive proof.

8.5s is more realistic if you know how to drive them. In those vids you can see the revs being held back by the ASR.

I wonder if Skoda perform the 0-60 with traction control on or off? Might explain the discrepancies in owner's figures....

I think if a 2.0l were to tow a vrs that would get the 0-60 time down a little
