Brochure time is 9.6 to 100kmh, but Skoda tends to be a bit conservative, so reckon on about 9.5 for the Fabia vrs

Autocar managed consistent 8.2 sec 0-60 in their stock long term test car on a nice cold day with a one off time of 7.2 sec. Brochure time is 0-62 for what it's worth.

I would think you have to be very brutal with your car to equal those times!

I get around 8.6 using a AP-22 performance meter and around 16.5 to a 1/4mile.

The GPS speedometer in the Road Angel in my car suggests the vRS's speedometer is consistently about 3-4mph over-reading between 40 and 80mph.

OK maybe 6.9 then but below 7 and the car was spinning up or boggin down, Should be able to hit a 6.5 though with a bit of practice.

Get some Eibachs on there Will significantly reduce front end lift and nose-diving and therefore improve your traction
