Vroom! Vroom!
Seems to go well enough - but no R32 burble.
-
May not be a VR6 but sounds sweet. Vee are very amused. Sounds powerful. Did you see the traction control lights? probably a good thing that the R has AWD.

Damn the 1980's processor on my work PC!

He's switched the ESP off, that's all. No way it's spinning its wheels at 100+kph - rev counter supports that.

He's switched the ESP off? What? Look at the damn road! It's covered with snow and ice. He must be nuts.

Bah, roads just wet that's all. Anyway you remember the days before ESP don't you? Drivers had skills then, not like the playstation generation and its ESP/DSG/XDS/EDL/ASR/EBD/ABS/HBA/ACC (:shocked:) where the Nanny computer does it all for you :wink:

Actually sounds pretty decent. Whats the red light on the speedo right next to the needle base?

Seat belt??

Will sound even better with DSG because you get the rasp between gear changes.
-
Seat belt??
Ha ha... about 230kph with no ESP or seatbelt - brilliant!
-
That does sound good. I was tempted by the R at the time but just couldn't justify it. :evil:

it must be a DSG, mustn't it? otherwise he's filming it with one hand and changing gear with the other...

You sure it's DSG? Gearchange doesn't seem quick/smooth enough for DSG. Any Mk 6 GTI owners with DSG confirm from looking at the MFD???
-
^^^^It is DSG! you can seee the gear numbers with the S being displayed on the display.
-
Don't think it is DSG, the auto box shows D or S next to the numbers i think, depending on whether your in drive or sport, the manual has a gear change indicator too but just shows an arrow pointing up. Suppose it could be the passenger holding the camera?
-
could that s be the suspenssion setting ie sport
-
Think the only indication of suspension setting is on the button behind the gear stick, ie comfort,sport or normal (normal doesn't show anything on the button), i'm sure someone will confirm that though.
-
that does sound good :smug:
-
This one is definitely DSG:

Yeah, the ESP just kills the power to prevent the spin, but when your trying to make progress you want it OFF to stop it killing the power, as soon as your wheels find grip and stop spinning you will shoot off, you wouldnt with ESP on.

Defiantly seat belt.
