30-70 time for 170 Diesel?

Whats the 30-70 on the GTD or 170 A3?

I don't have any 30-70 times to hand but these figures are taken from VW Driver magazine, both 6 speed manuals:

30-50 in 3rd, GTD 3.1  GTI 3.2
30-50 in 4th, GTD 5.7  GTI 4.3
50-70 in 3rd, GTD 3.7  GTI 3.2
50-70 in 4th, GTD 4.7 GTI 4.3
50-70 in 5th, GTD 6.4 GTI 5.5
50-70 in 6th, GTD 8.5  GTI 6.8

The only trouble with these rolling figures is that they don't take into account the very different gearing of the cars, so you are unlikely to be in the same gear at the same speed in many situations due to the Diesel having higher gearing and thus the turbo will be off boost.
Also these figures are obviously for flat out pedal to the floor acceleration, in real life give and take traffic situations the GTD would be at least as quick and would feel quicker thanks to the extra mid range torque.

GTD DSG would be fun and frugal.

Check out this that I found the other day, although some of the figures didnt look right.

Yep, that's the same road test I was quoting from.

Yup beat me to it by 10 minutes (this time I spent looking for the review I had read somewhere).

Cheers guys, times are close in lower gears. I have a feeling the 30-70 set the GTi and GTD further apart, I love booting it out of a 30 limited and leaving most cars for dust.
