peppyuk 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Went along to a Skoda rolling road meet at the weekend and SWMBO (who now has my corrado) came too. Corrado has almost 130k on the clock and burns a little oil. The only engine mod is the exhaust (Miltek). I was pretty impressed with the figures! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that is good. After all this time it's still putting out pretty good power. I just don't know if I'll be able to say the same about mine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Is that at the wheels or flywheel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted February 10, 2009 That's at the flywheel. Extrapolated from the @wheel figures, obviously. [ insert standard disclaimer about accuracy of roll-down test to asses transmission losses here .. ] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted February 10, 2009 :lol: power plots should have a fill-in scale on the y-axis (insert your own scale here) would be good to see a standard octavia VRS plotted against the VR6 power curve from the same day though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something like this? Red is the Corrado, Blue is the Skoda. Solid lines for BHP, dotted for ft lb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted February 10, 2009 That's a good reference, both seem to be bang on manufacturers figures, you can see why the 1.8T is regarded as dull, high torque to start with that just gradually tails off, so the power curve doesn't rise nicely like the VR and you don't get that feeling that the car is picking up and taking off :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
