I took my GTI w/DSG out to the track this past weekend. There were a good number of other GTIs running and it was interesting to me to see how much of a difference DSG made. My DSG was definitely quicker than the manuals -- I was keeping up with or passing GTIs that had 30+ hp on me pretty easily. But quick as it was, it just wasn't as fun as a true manual setup.
Just reinforces how disappointing it is that BMW would opt not to put a manual in the M4. I understand dual-clutch gearboxes are faster, but cars are being evaluated by numbers and laptimes when what should matter more is how fun they are to drive. So thankful for the Twins.
