Wonder how much of a time bomb the DSG ones will be by the time they are old enough for me to buy one.
DSG is stronger than manual clutch wise, they handle around 600HP and 500lb/ft.
Just as long as DSG is serviced regular (£160) be fine.
Yeah Alien green
Owning the Golf R turbo charged engines that hit hard are a bloody nightmare to balance mid corner. Your track driving, NA or supercharged is far better. Only the very latest turbo charged stuff is acceptable which Porsche are the only ones to really pull it off so far, I was very impressed with the 991.2's I drove on track which had upto 420HP, as you could balance them mid corner on boost as power delivery was very linear and NA like. Not experienced a turbocharged like that before. Well I have the cars that have turbo's so small you can hardly see them haha.
Its the reason i wanted to keep the nasp experience, the m5 is the same mid corner the power can come on so strong it makes it difficult.
Nasp driving experience is hard to beat on track its just a shame they lack power in modern day hot hatches (not big american v8's)

Ver' nice. Will you give each other a go of your cars? Would be nice to compare and contrast these motors.
Not on the Ring no, but on the road sure. The Ring just offers too much risk for it to go wrong through no fault of your own, so having someone else behind the wheel when it goes wrong is just added stress really. Having said that I have driven other peoples cars on other tracks, just not the Ring.

Washed it today and can’t wait to get it properly cleaned and waxed up to get the pearl really working. Great little car.

Did a dyno day with my GF, @Voxination and another friend this morning....forgot to put V-power in before!!!
Not too bad still, within 15% of Vox even then...not a fair comparison though! Haha

My bike makes more power than that
Must be the 5 speed Chopper then as my 3 speed never quite got to those numbers.
