ZERO to SIXTY

Post links to the various tests.  I'll start, the vid below (literally just uploaded now) manages it in 6.1seconds with a DSG!

Insane amount of wheelspin in 1st gear - that may be fastest technique but your tires will be gone pretty quickly.

The link below shows 0-60 done in 6.23 secs

However it does not state whether it is manual or DSG?  If you watch the Rev counter it shows the Gear change being practally only one change up to just under 60mph.  The gear is changed up a second time just on 60mph.  So the theory of 1 gear change 0-60 could stand for Manual GTI's.

It's a DSG in Sport mode.

That could negate the "advantage" of DSG gear changes on a 0-62 time and explain how officially the manual and DSG have the same times.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
MK7 R 5 door, manual, Lapiz Blue, Prets.

I think the 'real' thing Manuel is the way to go, I mean without being too crude having a DSG well it's a bit like a vibrator/dildo.......... It may have its uses for some people but there's nothing like the real thing  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

TFI Friday, have a good one  :tongue:

Cancelled GTI, M135i beast mode.
