Whoa, that was some seriously fast shifting and he still didn't have a chance. DSG is great but I still think I'd prefer a clutch. Maybe when I'm 90 or so...

DSG has a clutch, but you don't need to see it.

USDM A3s and GTIs don't get launch control with DSG. Perhaps next year. DSG still shifts faster than a human, but faster isn't always more fun.

Why? Yours doesn't work?

I tried it today...excellence feature!

Shifting faster is not only the fun part, but also to shift like an F1 is priceless...hehe
