Leon cupra r
From about 10mph to 70mph, he was about 1 1/2 car lengths in front and i pulled out and he floored it and so did I caught up and would have passed but had to break at about 70 for a car in front....
Mondeo, older style, no badges??? don't know what engine, he came right up behind me and floored it, I gave chase and caught up and had to keep backing off or i would have went into him....But at next roundabout onto dual carriageway i was in front and he was behind and i was pulling away gradually but he was doing not to bad..
Wasn't an St24/200 or that, no kit badges etc, dunno what model..
All fun though...

By stepping outside your house you are risking your health from the pollution, a freak earth quake could happen, a lorry could drive into you, a helicopter could crash, your house could fall down. You're never safe so make the most of it

new one?? You can't mean the brand new shape one as they don't make a Cupra-R yet.
The new Leon sport 2.0 TFSI has 185 PS and does 0-60 in 7.8 (book figures) so fairly quick

cupra's are high 6's to 60 but they won't have the torque that you have in the volvo
You wouldn't stand a chance against a remapped one although you could have yours remapped
