^^^ it's apparent you haven't been to/done a track day before :lol:
Sorry I'm referring to a straight line race from a roll.

you have a $400 service every 40k...plus it should really be done at closer intervals when you rag on it a little bit...any way you slice it, it is still an automatic and takes some of the joy out of driving(for certain types of people)...this gen of the dsg has been pretty solid compared to the older generations, and it is a good transmission, but i still dont want one
OP...the steptronic is still a plain old slush box auto with lots of power sucked out. That combined with the AWD loss, and you have a slight shot from a roll...any other 335 and you would have no chance
The intent of this thread is not about armchair racing. I had my mind set on getting the 335xi. A good combo of luxury, performance, and winter traction. But at the end decided to go with a two car setup. GTi will be my personal car and I will get another car from work. End up costing me less than the 335.
Obviously I don't expect a stage 1 GTi to match the performance of 335. But I do hope that a stage 1 GTi can come close to the feel of a 335xi.
What's there to maintain with the DSG? I've read plenty threads on here where the manual clutch is always slipping and having to be replaced lol.
And great quote I love to live my life a 1/4 mile at a time to eventually get me miles ahead in life :thumbup: hahahahahaha
