What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

It wasn't so much because she was in the car, (I spun the wheels up, going through round-abouts) it was because I was in an unfamiliar residential area, and she was giving me directions
In the Golf I did 5 consecutive 0 to 100 km to 0. Foot flat to floor to 100 then smash the breaks and rotate the wheels to 3 then to 9 and then to 3 then repeat. I absolutely smashed the dsg transmission trying to find fault with it.
The lag is the only thing I noticed in the Golf

No get the right VW. All models with the 6 speed DSG come standard with Launch control.

The 7 speed is designed for low power applications which is why it doesn't have launch control (and part of that low power application means it is NOT designed to take massive amounts of torque through a single solid, non wet clutch). Just sucks that they decided to put it in the 118tsi/polo GTI which have a lot of torque pushing the boundaries of the gearbox.

I don't want launch control. I was just commenting that I had noticed a bit of a lag in the 118 tsi Golf when you floor it, which the other gentleman had noticed in his Polo GTI.

If they bring out the light weight (200kg lighter) carbon mk 7 golf gti in three years time, I will definitely be purchasing it.

Hey. That actually looks good.
I'm not usually into stickers but that looks good.

yeah all I want from my tune is better gearing from d1 to d7 so it's longer. To fix the lag I have I know it won't completely go but half of what it is . is much better and after the software I put in and some other stuff

I'll be happy . I'm not really looking for launch control it's just apart of the tune if I get it I will let you all know and if I don't . I will still let you guys know
