Thanks Corey...I fully understand where you are coming from mate, and a better
60ft time is their for sure like the other R's out there. :)
It is achievable!!!

I even sent you a PM to support your opinion, lol.

Nah I got you, and with you 100%!

Low 4s on a golf r would equal a mid 12.. Maybe 12.5 quarter.. What's a STG 1 do again down the quarter.. 13.5? ;)

Good work Fab. My 60ft was a 1.8 when I ran my 13.1 so a better launch would definitely see you in the high 12's. Need to find a "private road" to practise some launches before the next time. I've had a few times where I could free rev when I had LC engaged but was cognisent of the limits of the DSG box and dropped the revs to around the 4k mark. I could have done some at 7k if I wanted. I have found that the hotter the box is the less likely it is to let it free rev so best time to do this is first couple of goes. I was only doing 100 mph through the traps so the extra 4mph is an indication of extra power despite what the recent dyno days show. It was also 30 degrees when I ran so that would have had an effect. Looking forward to seeing more tuned R's get on the strip and see what they can do.

What would a DSG stage 2 remap do to your time here Fab?
