    • It would most certainly at least want the mechancial LSD, otherwise 206kW going through the front wheels will be a waste IMO.

      • Hope it gets 4wd

        • The Seat version - FWD R engine - that held the ring record for a while had the PP LSD. Also has the adaptive suspension.

          I hope the Skoda gets those goodies too.

Just wish I could get the roof added, then get the build date confirmed a week later or something!
            You shouldn't have a problem with changing your order, I changed mine about a month ago (only a small change to colour maxidot) but it was no problems and got a build week of second week in July

                  i got no issues putting 220 odd kW through my front wheels........

                  But yes...a mechanical or trick diff will certainly help tame the power.

                    I was start of may so surely close to a confirmed build week. All the more reason to hurry the dealer up and make sure I get the roof!

                      I'm still blown away by this. I'm running 190kW and struggle for no axle tramp past about 4500rpm in 1st.

                      Particularly with all this cold weather we've been having. Engine loves it but the cooler tyre temps are no good for axle tramping!!!

                      What tyres are you running DS?

                        Would be nice, but what's the chances of us getting it in Oz when they seem to be having such difficulty keeping up with demand for regular RS?

                          contisportcontact 5s.
                          maybe its the dsg transmission? it gets out of 1st gear as soon as possible.
                          with launch control, I clock in the 5.8 to 5.9 secs. this was done on contisportcontact 2s.

                          I haven't timed it again since getting the dsg performance tune. might have a go again in these near freezing temps in Canberra

                            • Noticed a bunch of MY15 RS' (TSI only in this list) got loaded on boats on their way to Aus. Can't verify what options they have though. Anyone got info from their dealers?
