Did you get unnecessary wheel spin? I usually do when I launch and shift at the rev limit. Could be my tires though

no, he doesn't. DSG has no torque converter (like traditional automatics do) so no loss.
and more fun

Gotcha, learned something. Exactly why i wanted a car i didn't know much about. :w00t:

Ready to race!
The Bugatti Veyron uses a 7 speed DSG because its too damn fast for a human to keep up with, so it does a pretty good job.
Does the car have an ECU flash? If its stock, I wonder what it would do after, or after adding other mods.

It's pretty intriguing, actually! The DSG uses two clutches that engage/disengage every gear--one for gears 1,3,5 and the other for gears 2,4,6. When one disengages (such as from switching from gear 2 to gear 3), the other engages.

From the vibration from start to the 30' line, it looked like he was getting some spin or hop. Improved motor mounts fix some of that along with launching (with LC) at a lower rpm and rolling into the throttle from the start. Great potential with the motor/trans combo from this car!! Enjoy!!!

I tried launching from about 2K, easing on the gas, then switching out of 1st at about 6.2K, and the rest of gear switching between 6.2K and 6.5K--really improved my times. I want some motor/trans mounts though...
