No DSG is faster to 60 than the manual. :wink:

A lot of factors affect times.

DSG combined with AWD will be quicker than a manual. Launch control cannot be beaten

Yes, and have stated this throughout this thread. The DSG is horrible when going flat out from 1st to 2nd, loads of wasted time sat between gears at full revs.

Well we all know it's been shown the DSG is faster.  Youtube of R vs R DSG for example.  IIRC the DSG beats the manual by up to a whole second on one ocassion and by half a second on average (which is over 10% faster)..  It also shows how variable the results can be in a manual. Or there is the drift king vid that has been posted on here before somewhere.  Some personally prefer to drive manual, some personally prefer to drive DSG, but the DSG is measureably faster.

I'd go along with Bear and Johnc41 on this. The DSG simply can't be beaten by manual on a standardised, launch control 0-62 mph drag race. Not rubbing anyone's nose in it, its just fact! (See factual evidence on YouTube)

I'll tell you this though, if I didn't have to drive in heavy, sh*tty traffic all the time I'd have the manual in an instant. It's a sublime, sweet shifting manual box. And, I'd have saved myself £1,400 in the process :wink:

The DSG does make you lazy though, so one day I'll go back to manual. Maybe a classic 911 3.2 Carrera for the weekend when I'm retired :whistle:

I saw somebody claimed a 5.8 seconds 0-60 in a manual stock mk7 earlier in the thread and I just lol'd and stopped reading there
