I know this thread had been about the GTI, but curious on people's thoughts on the GTD. Does the DSG rev too high taking the engine out of its optimum power band? Are we still talking one shift for the gtd to hit 60 or would it be quicker with two?

I think the GTDs biggest problem will be putting it's power down from a standing start with the torque it has. I can (in my 170TDI Scirocco) get up to 15mph in 2nd, floor it and get it to wheelspin. The DSG has lower gearing than the manual so it's likely you'd need to be just into 3rd with the DSG. My dad hasn't started getting too heavy footed with his DSG GTD just yet for me to know when it will upshift if you're accelerating hard, but it wouldn't make much sense for the GTD DSG to hold on to it's gears beyond the torque band (4200rpm top end).

Because it's a GTI and it's bought for it's performance capabilities among other things

And 0-60 times are an effective measure of performance?

You've obviously been listening to the likes of Clarkson for too long...

And for those of you that think I bought a C4S Cabrio :cool: for its 0-60 times or for any reason other than it being a great car... Are you on drugs?
