I've recently aquired one of those Auto Polar boxes and I thought I would time my 0-100 sprints. I set the start point to 0km/h and end to 100km/h on the chronometer, select start, engage LC and go for it.

My car is a 155 Tig w 7spDSG (stock), 3/4 tank of 98 fuel and I weigh about 95kgs, outside temp was around 17c.

The highest time I recorded was 6.52 0-100, the best I got was 6.45. Of course I used Launch Control. Without LC I get 7.3 which is the factory claimed figure. Either I have a little more power on tap for some reason or the factory figures are without LC?? I would have thought VW would be using LC for their "claimed" figures.

I know there can be variations in real world figures, but I would have thought VW would publish the absolute best they could...

What sort of figures does everyone else get? Or is there sometimes a deviation in what the AutoPolar records?

I did notice that my auto polar shows around 95km/h when my spedo is on 100km/h. I'm guessing the Auto polar is true speed...

Also, are there any tuned out there w DSG's that know their 0-100 times?
