If you drive something like a BMW M2 DCT you start to realise what a POS the Audi/VW STronic/DSG is......................It's gearchange is slow/does'nt happen when requested in Manual mode which make it nigh on impossible to guesstimate when to pull the '+' paddle if trying for a 1st/2nd gear change, you either get it too early or too late and end up with a rpm limiter cut, iv'e given up trying the 1st-2nd in manual mode on hard accelerationit isn't napping, it does it to build boost before re-engaging the clutch to give you a rolling launch effect with max accel, feels quick when it goes albeit with a very slight delay.
not ideal in that situation on a car wow race, but that's how the race is set up. I'd be in manual a few lower gears on the road at that point.

However the DSG in our S3 rev matches on the way down and is smooth on the way up which is great.So I’ve owned an 8v RS3, M2C and now the 8Y. I can concur the M2C box imo felt far more responsive etc.

This was something that annoyed me with DCT in that M1 was smooth up (and give a nice exuast pop) but you could only get rev-matching on the way down if you were in M2 or M3. M2 or M3 is too aggressive on the way up and chirps the TC all the time.
Not sure if this has been posted already ?

Yeah as Jassy says I went under the radar with this one - I took delivery around the time when many who had been waiting ages for an 8Y were in limbo or even had deposits refunded. As you say its crazy how the RS3 can be in such short supply. I'm glad I had an opportunity to try out an 8y so I will never be left wondering what if.Our @Snake Pliskin Glen didn't want to offend other RS3 8y owners/Brag about ditching his 8Y for a true performance car such a Gentleman he is Nev

The RS5 looks and sounds superb.I think the RS3 actually did alright considering it was on some of the worst possible tyres for the conditions. Never going to beat the RS7 flat out with the power difference, I'm more surprised that it stuck with it as much as it did!
That must be something different they've done with the Competition's exhaust over the standard car then I'd say, just because I recall the cars sounding alright but nothing special. Maybe they've managed to tune things or fit different OPFs to get some more burbles and things.The RS5 looks and sounds superb.
The exhaust note actually sounds really good.
I would like to hear that in real life.
Yeah it's bespoke exhaust for the competition car - so they can bend the sound police rules when they want to.That must be something different they've done with the Competition's exhaust over the standard car then I'd say, just because I recall the cars sounding alright but nothing special.

Same exhaust no different.I thought the RS3 performance had a modified exhaust over the standard RS3 sports exhaust..? But, by the sounds of it not all that.
