then again both cars are doing it in the wet and both cars have 4wd. Perhaps not equal to VW test circumstances but equal at least between the two cars in the clip.

seems like in the manual car at least he had the AC turned on - not sure how much power that will take away, but surely if you're doing speed runs you want to turn that off?

Is it me or did he put the DSG into manual and not into Sport mode, cos he put it across instead of down  :undecided:

Yep I'd say it's better to launch a DSG in manual as the S mode can try to think (for example if you lift off a bit to stop wheelspin S mode can shift up whereas Manual will stay)

I do agree. It does seem a bit behind the times. But I will say that the previous tests were all GTI DSG v GTI which was front wheel drive. Therefore the Launch control came a bit more into play. At least now with both cars having 4wd it seems to be more a test of gear change times rather than launch ability.

 :grin: its faster plain and simple....

as while your putting your foot on the clutch and changing gear, dsg has already done it, and you dont even have to take your foot of the accelerator

also the red-line does not make one bit of difference as your puny K03 turbo will run out of puff by 6krpm  :nerd:
