Hi Asker

Surprised you were able to find roads anywhere round the capital where you were able to rack the cars up to 70mph.

Well done tho it is so nice to know what we manual owners have been saying all along "manual is definitely quicker"

Please don't ruin my/our friend Steve's holiday.
Steve: Forget us for a few weeks and come back refreshed for more b!tchiness!

Was he using "Launch Control" on the DSG?
If not you loose some time compared to a fast start slipping the clutch in a manual.

My cousin just popped in to say Hi!
He's just about recovered from the shock!
He's getting has car checked tomorrow and is adamant for a re-run.
I told him I'll think about it if he makes it worth my while.
I told him at best we would be equals, at worst I'll beat him again.

He garbled something after he lost the second time, but I paid little or no attention!

PS: Whether I win or lose, I've booked an expensive French Resturant for him to wine and dine me on a Sunday! We'll  have another go on the Saturday before, very late!

Dear god, what ever other interesting things am i gonna read in this forum tonight.

To believe a Human can shift a manual car quicker the 50 milliseconds,smoother without bogging down then a computer, ive gota see that


Sorry i did laugh abit.Perhaps have Steve Sutcliff's job, cus he cant obviously cant launch a manual car

Your mate is right taking his car in to find out why its done on power 

Perhaps he was suffering with Heat soak more then yours??

R video is a fair reflection on the differences.

Saw a mk6 GTi, Manual gearbox at inters couldnt get under 15 second quarter mile. Poor chap

Reaction in red.
Just had a quick spin in cousin's DSG car. Rough engine. He'll get it sorted tomorrow.
Drove it myself. DSG not for me. I've got 2 legs and I like to use them as much as possible. I'm with Kev on this!
