I bet it blew some people's tiny minds when they realised that having supple working suspension makes a car faster pretty much everywhere bar Silverstone.

LOL otherwise just remove the suspension - think of the weight saving! I'll bet I could do the Ring in under 2 minutes like that.

Interesting that the mk 8 Dcc version appears to have lost the default "normal" mode?

Is Normal is just called Comfort now as it is on lots of other cars?

I hear you, but I always thought comfort was softer than normal with sport being harder than normal on a mk7?

Can confirm.  Comfort is softer than normal but Individual with engine sound on comfort is the best compromise for fast road driving.

Yes on the Mk7 you had three driving profiles plus individual plus eco I think, now its either sport or comfort or individual.

Yes, I do have DCC on my mk7 CS.
I assume the Dcc on the mk8 is progress?

Yes on the mk8 it's no longer just a reactive technology.
