My GTD pulls strongly to about 3800rpm (it tails off a little bit from 3500, not massively), and has completely run out of puff at 4500 - red line is 5000rpm. Getting the best out of it keeps the revs above 2500 when you've changed up.

I think vw have the torque band slightly wrong on the gtd as it still pulls past the 3250rpm they suggest.
I think Max power is around 3500? But the torque does seem to drop from 3250 pretty sharply on dynos. Has anyone played with best rpm to change gear? I wonder where the dsg changes in sport?

Compared to the GTI, I'm not sure if the GTI has a wider torque band as remember we only rev to 4000 (can't remember where the red line is)! What does the GTI rev to?

The GTI happily revs to 7200 RPM up to the hard red line before changing up in the DSG and the torque kicks in very low in the revs and holds strong.

Poached;

Yes I have and a milltek is the first upgrade I'd invest in on an Audi RS3 as it sounds superb. :)

You could be on a slippery slope there Jim. The Touareg is on the borderline of owning a people carrier. Nothing says more than "I've giving up on life" then seeing a man driving a people carrier  :laugh: :whistle:

Stick with the Golf R

Awesome! The Toerag (sorry, it's the best autocorrect would allow me) is a mean bit of kit with a f*ck off big Diesel engine in it and R Line looks smart.
Let me know what garage it is if you buy it as I'll chop my GTI in against your R  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Mind you, I was looking at S1's (ex-demo) last night...  :whistle:

My Mrs has got an A1 1.4 CoD S-line black edition DSG. Really lovely cars, quite fun but a little bit to much torque steer for my liking. I'm certainly going to be looking at swapping this for the S1 when the current A1 deal is up in a couple of years. She will never know its really for me!  :laugh:

Oh please, please Mr Moderator don't get a Toerag. How about a BMW X3/X5 instead. Some great deals available.

But not an X5 similar to the one that came through from South Shields to pick up our old washing machine last week after I put it on Freecycle - when it rolled up I thought Katie Price must be on the bones of her arse needing my 13 year old Bosch Maxx.....it was bright glittery hot pink, custom paint job I assume? And it was a lad driving it.

Jokes aside Mr Moderator. An Audi SQ5 is a pretty good car as is the BMW X3. But have pity on us and yourself and don't get a Toerag. Pretty please?

Or, how about an R Hearse?

Prams will fit in these cars nicely and your lady can even have twins!
