i wish someone would find a lap time of...  or does anyone know where this may of been test in maybe VW mag??
1. GTi manual v Ed 30 manual
2. GTi DSG v Ed30 DSG

around the same track and compare how they would fair. i really dont think theres much in it at all, bearing in mind the ED30 wont be able to hit its highest speed to get a better advantage.It would be a good test to whether a car with more horsepower and same suspention etc could get round any better then whats already be proven with a GTi 200hp version. it showed that the subaru hit 120mph at one point and the GTi was slower yet still finished ahead.thats what im trying to get at. Having the extra hp doesnt necessarly mean its quicker getting round a test track.

I didnt know they had taken the Ed30 round the track. But i still stand by my previous posts about the top gear track being a bit crap. The tracks used by 5th gear are a little more on the challenging side!

Fountain of knowlegde hurdy you wouldnt happen to know if the R32 was DSG or manual??
