That is pretty quick.  I'm surprised the dsg box can handle the torque.  If you read some of the comments after the clip, they say the 'box can handle more than was originally thought.

i notice he cant floor it from a standing start as its un controllable , someone i know near me has a 307hp ED30 and he says its totally insane, and make minced meat out 911's and M3's, but did also say you cannot floor it below 50mph cus it just cant handle the torque.
He even spotted my ed30 at my local dealership before id even told him ive bought one, his one is black and he said now seeing a red ed30 in the flesh has made him very jelous!!!.

I should be taken on a test drive this weekend to see what all this fuss of having the extra 50hp is worth considering.
