Two cars in one.. I am starting to get convinced

Post by S8N »

Since I got my rocco, I have still missed the urgency of the TT before it (mark2 coupe 2.0T with DSG). I have been happily enjoying the refinement of the car (comfort setting in D on the DSG) for the last week or so. Occasional kickdown but generally just pottering around.

Was a cold but dry night last night and I hit a familiar road that is a little twisty. Thought it would be good to just drop the hammer a little. Stuck it into sport ACC and sport on the DSG... then proceeded to gun.

HOLY **** :hyper: it's a different car. A screaming angry beast desperate to get let off the leash. She gripped, she burbled, she hung on for dear life on the edge of her capability but she wanted more. The sound of the exhaust screaming at me... telling me to push harder into the next corner and floor it out of the apex.

My TT was mapped but even at stock struggled to get the power down. The Scirocco can get that power down and that makes it special to me. Safe but utterly compelling to drive. I LOVE THIS CAR! 8)

Exactly what I have found, and which is why I said in the other thread makes the ACC worth its weight in gold to me especially as a combo with DSG,

Cant wait to get some Toyo R888's fitted in Summer and get her round Brands :)
Car is now Sold!!!!! BMW 7 Series for now as nice and big but holding out for something a little special as my toy :)
