That's actually not even with "true" launch control either. I have proper launch control installed now and I'm hoping to break the 3.0 second mark for 0-62mph next spring

It's all about tuning, particularly in the SST (EvoX/Ralliart/GTR world). Once tuning is available for the AT on this platform, it'll be very potent.
I'm not talking about shift times, my stock F1 trans shifts pretty quick and I do 3.x with it stock. What I meant is going into first is clumsy it's something hard to explain in words but if you work with DCT you should know. It's like your in natural and then you get into first suddenly. Happens with the PDK and the ferraris F1 a lot but not that concerning with the golfs Dsg.

Weight though is still an issue of dcts


I'm not a hater ofc DCT don't get me wrong, I love my Ferrari gearbox but it's sad to not have that interaction with your car
