Manual 0-60 vs. DSG 0-60

[matchboy]

Actually it was 5.6 by a Car magazine, so it can be done.

So quote the new gti manual is 0.1 sec slower to 60 then the outgoing golf R DSG

I didn't write the article my man!  Just telling you what they wrote!

Ok for those saying DSG shifts "horribly" I've a few links:

He properly fluffed that first change in the GTI!


Still quite impressive though, i'd like to see them head to head on a wet country road though!

I know this does not describe difference between DSG and Manual but the review on the link below states times of the GTI tested around a track and compared to other rival cars it comes out quicker.  Check it out

You can see the tuning potential of this car

I would take those figures with a pinch of salt....it's still early days.

The engine has been around for a while and is very tuneable thanks to the VVT.
Abt reckon 300 bhp stage 1 with their piggy back ECU and last year before the GTI was properly announced (but people were guessing that the new VVT Audi 2.0 EA888 engine would be the one is has been launched with) it was getting the tuners excited.
Even the DTUK tuning box thing gets over 30bhp extra out of it which will have a lot less parameters than a full ECU remap.
Oettinger reckon 340 bhp with a series of bolt on mods added such as intercooler and induction.

Sweet, but... how the feck are you gonna get 340 bhp through the front wheels without setting them on fire

By ordering the car with the "no brainer PP" !!! 
Seriously though, I was taken round Castle Combe in REVO's 340 or so Leon Cupra a couple of years ago by a proper race driver and you'd be surprised how well the car coped putting that power down.

And either way you look on it, you'd have fun trying!!!!
