I have test driven the GTI a little hard to see how well it is and its almost instant, I mean like no rpm drop between shifts. This is all just for the sake of attempted accuracy. I still prefer my SS with a trans that can be rebuilt, and not have to buy a new one at the first signs of trauma like the vw's.
yeah ive heard about that trans, not 100% sure if its called a DSG. but i hear its the fastest shifting auto trans. according to google a new r32 will run you 33k. i dont know about anyone else but id rather spend the extra 5k or so get a new camaro, or use the 33k and buy a sweet used vette.
