Awesome set up. I see what you mean when you said you wanted something track-focussed. Really nice to see you stayed within the VAG fold rather than buy something else.

Surprised re: rns and camera. Can't imagine VWR fitting them so was that you? Isn't it all a little heavy?

Are you taking it to Inters and running it down the strip?

Also what's a paddle clutch?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I will admit that if I had bought this car it would have to be manual.

I would imagine full control is needed.

....Having driven both this actual ex-VWR car and my DSG back-to-back on the same roads I feel much more in control driving a DSG in Manual mode. But each to their own - They're both great and I don't feel the need to suggest that only real men drive conventional manuals  :laugh:
