Best run today using launch control 6.4s. Took off from emergency lane on Eastlink which is nice and grippy so limited wheelspin, just hooked up and ran.

Bloody impressive result for 100% stock Mk6 GTi DSG. Did nothing special, revved to about 2800rpm then released the brake and held it flat. Couldn't be simpler.

Cools. So that to a true 100kph correct? Not as indicated on your speedo etc.

No that's using the Performance Box (GPS based) so very accurate, same as motoring mags use. It measures exactly 0-100 not relying on reflexes to stop a watch as 100 passes.

For the record, speedo indicates 107 at GPS 100km/h.

Yeah - that's what both my MKV Golf GTI and my Polo GTI read at 100 just by doing the trip computer reset test.

So it starts recording as soon as you start moving? Isn't there a delay in a DSG equipped car?

Yeah starts timing as soon as you move.

Not if you do the accelerator tap...

... and apparently not if you own an R
