manual vs. DSG

[DSV]

the true argument is not hatches vs. trunks but manual vs. DSG :D

<--- quicker shifting! eat it

[DSV]

3 pedals > 2 pedals

[Big Nug]

hhuuuummmmmm i seem to have a third pedal also. and my car does not seem to shift that slow.:D

[sml]

<--- quicker shifting! eat it

hhhmmmmm..... hope that quicker shifting makes up for the lack of torque your able to apply!:D

[Gee Tea Eye V]

its ok ur all jealous, i accept that. i mean it must suck to be stuck in traffic and still have to shift back and forth when i can just put it in drive mode and sit back and relax

[DSV]

no, i actually love driving my car and shifting through the gears on a regular basis. it makes the drive much more enjoyable than just throwing it in drive and going, lol.

[sml]

lol - this is going to be a long thread!:D

i dont drive my vw to relax... if that was the case i would of bought a 2.slow! hahahahahahahaha (luv ya cad!)

i have not driven a car equipped with DSG ... but I dont think I could survive without being able to heel and toe downshift.

[turboA4]

the video is at the bottom.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

oh big slap in the face for all of u that watch that video :laugh:

[DSV]

that is a great video man. i must say i am impressed. :tu:

[CadburyRabbit]

this is how I see it

DSG is like taking advantage of that passed out sorority slut. Sure it may be fun and fast. But there's no connection beyond that of the pyshical. And when its all said and done you come out only feeling dirty.

Manual is like finally scoring with that hot innocent blonde girl from 5th period chemistry class. You know, the virgin who becomes a beast in the sack and she's all yours, and theres all the passion and romance.

Thats how I see it.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

so u like dsg then? since u wont score that hot blonde? ok i get it thanks

[CadburyRabbit]

i think you took it a bit too literal, and by a bit I mean a lot, and by took I mean interpreted

[turboA4]

Yeah...i am offically confused.....

[Gee Tea Eye V]

Yeah...i am offically confused.....

lol just let it go...

ross is trying to tell everyone that he thinks that manual is better than dsg yet was inclined to include a story

[stollen]

its ok ur all jealous, i accept that. i mean it must suck to be stuck in traffic and still have to shift back and forth when i can just put it in drive mode and sit back and relax

And you are just jealous that when you hit the open road, maybe find some twisties and need to run up and down a few gears all you can do for fun is basically push a button, the car makes a sweet fart sound, and all of the sudden you are in a different gear. It's over before you know it and you don't remember it happening, kinda like how the first girl you slept with feels :D :eek: :finger:

[DSV]

^^ lol. i can see a sig-worthy quote in the making...

[Big Nug]

its ok ur all jealous, i accept that. i mean it must suck to be stuck in traffic and still have to shift back and forth when i can just put it in drive mode and sit back and relax

Well it really isn't that noticable being stuck in traffic. I can be in third gear and do anywere between 25mph and 60mph so no stuck in traffic problems here.

The real question is........ do you know how to drive a stick..Jake?
be honest now i'm sure any one here will teach you.:D

[Head at JJperf]

Banging gears=cool
banging chicks=cool
auto mode shifting=lamesauce traffic or not

[Loccusst]

I would rather slam through the gears in my manual GTI but I will admit I have great respect for the DSG.
