Who's got the fastest Skoda?

Just out of interest, i was wondering which member has the fastest Skoda on this forum?
What is the spec? I.e. top speed, 0-60, bhp, etc?
I know its not mine but i am interested to know how far they can be taken and who is top dog?

Re: Who's got the fastest Skoda?

EddyH I'd say would easily get the 0-60 but he has never timed it, but seeing as he has an octavia 4x4 with around 450bhp it should be quite nippy. Top speed i'd say it was between people like eddy, des, and dave personally. track wise i'd put my my money on des's car

Re: Who's got the fastest Skoda?

Octavia I reckon Des when it's running, Fabia it's either Devonutopia or Jabba luke although Jabba luke.

With the new Fabia and superb it is whoever owns the highest spec enginewise, but as I only know of one owner of the new fabia so far, the answer for that is probably misspiggy in her 1.2

Re: Who's got the fastest Skoda?

I've not seen a dyno in excess of 259.4 bhp yet, and until I do I'm insisting I've got the most "powerful" one Sure, so I've not put the fastest 1/4 mile in yet, and probably not the fastest real 0-60, but time will tell.

There's a black Fabia vRS floating around with 273bhp. That was when it was last on the rolling road.

Re: Who's got the fastest Skoda?

So, the crux of the matter is I'm the only one who's wholly public about what he's done then.

No worries on the bumper bits Mr Sausage - Going to stick with my TDI bumper for a while now.

Re: Who's got the fastest Skoda?

All the "regular" maximal mods plus dished pistons lowering the CR/increasing the cc and more boost?

Re: Who's got the fastest Skoda?

I'd say for straight line top speed it'd be Eddy, easily.

ColinD's hatch WRC with more power than my old Elegance estate was slower over a greater distance. We put this down the the rear spoiler.

Why? Just because he has the gearing for a higher top speed doesn't mean he can pull it.

Re: Who's got the fastest Skoda?

i bet he doesn't, he has 335jabbhp which aren't worth as much on the open market, more like around 275bhp looking at recent results from others
