Erm...not sure if its been said, but the revs will be limited to 3200 rpm I believe. So you only need to push the pedal enough to hit this limit if you wanted.
Personally, when I did it...I moved into Manual. Left Foot on brake. DSC off. Right foot accelartor to the floor. The left foot off....wahooooooooooooooooo.
There isn't a single red blooded male that wouldn't smile....
EDIT: Forgot to say. My best mate is Master Tech for VW. He confirmed that LC is tracked in the Vag Codes. This is not reported on unless the car comes in presenting problems related to gearbox/clutch/transmission. However, he has never been asked to print this out even on GTI's that have had problems. I think this would only be an issue if you kept coming in with f**ked gearboxes.
