USDM GTI's do not get the staged launch control that they do in Europe. Also, when on an actual TRACK (not a drag strip), even the USDM GTI's that are DSG equipped are significantly faster than their MT6 counterparts.

EDIT: This is completely OT but thought I could help by pointing this out and saying that if the EVO X doesn't get some sort of launch control for its auto. then there will be a lot of disappointed drivers that like to go fast in straight lines

Looking better and better, but it's got to be a six speed manual for the ultimate experience. We finally get the super acd. As much as I love my IX, more and more I am wanting this X...

M3 is an SMG setup that is NOT a good representation of what he's trying to do(if you drive an SMG car, they shift slowly and it feels like the tranny is going to fall out). GTI/GLI/TT/A3 would be some of the easiest cars to get to test drive to experience the DSG system.

I already mentioned that the US cars don't get the launch control... Also, when Best Motoring took the DSG and the 6MT GTI around a track the MT turned better laptimes. With a good driver you just can't get the throttle control on a DSG that you can on an MT. On top of that, I found the DSG mind numbingly boring, it's almost too good if that makes any sense.

If I have one thing to complain about it's the exhaust. Fake dual exhausts are lame and it goes against just about everything to Evo stands for.
