  • Agreed DSG is smooth, efficient, fast etc etc... but only a manual gearbox can REALLY make you feel involved with the drive.... and total mastery over the car. Do you really want to go half a sec faster and miss out on:

    Kicking the clutch to encourage higher revs while exiting a corner

    The mechanical feel of slotting gears

    HEEL AND TOE downshifting!!!!... God its cool

    Almost endless burnouts and smoking starts

    Powerslides!!!

    Getting laid and being cooler

  • that chick can drive!

  • @evo8mrman And the pigtails suggest she likes to be driven hard too!!

  • @shadynebey

    Yes you can... want to go from 3rd to 5th? a quick double tap will put you into 5th.

  • Manual gearbox give me fun everyday, blast!

    Verry blast player.

  • They should call it 8th gear in 2012

  • A DSG box gives you both benefits of an auto and a manual i.e, you dont have to keep your foot on the clutch or keeep changing to neutral in slow moving traffic

  • @shravanrulez

    Just because you drive a particular transmission doesn't make you a badass.. And DSG does give the driver total control over the car in a differen't way.

  • I'm willing to bet good money that little difference is time has more to do with variations in driving style and the line taken through corners, and less so than the transmission used. Granted, the DSG can definitely change gears faster...but since it operates like a sequential transmission (except in auto mode, where it can skip gears such as 3rd to 6th) you can't just downshift or upshift directly into the gear you want.

  • How much power can these dsg take if you mod the car?

  • TT + DSG FOREVER!!

  • Wow she's sexy.
