erm? :?

About the transmission, i read this on a car site: Comparing it to a Steptronic system, DSG is the difference between a typewriter and a Mac.

last night there is three of our members join the the autotest event !me , albertho555 and mike ! anyone esle ?

presonally , i think it is a good experience ! the A3 is pretty fast to me , i can feel that the whole car is pretty strong , even understeer may be oversteer is happening the car is still stable(not like mind , if same thing happen in my car it will jump and shake :( ) , good corning !! if i have any complain to the car , it is about the tire i feel the traction is a bit less , may be the reason is everyone jump into the car and they drive crazy !!

so what about mike and albertho555 ? what you think about the event ?
i think i will try again if i am free !! :)

The car had too much turbo lag and understeer...

Guess nothing goes above a good NA rwd ride :)

But I think if you drive the car a bit more, you'll get used to it and figure out the -hard to find- hand brake and shift paddles... then you might actually keep the car in boost and have a pretty good machine.

Oh, and somebody give that car a suspension job... please

hey ! you know what i haven't do any 360 , i watch the tape and i saw you guys doing the 360 , i remember there is 2 cones , one stand and the other lay down next to it , i thought it just show you the dirtection !

also i found out at the tape , the instructor was driving the A3 and you guys sit right next to him !so when he show the dirtrction , he do the 360 ?

if i was at the wrong dirtection , how can they give me the timming ?
:roll:

i am really confuse now !! :!:

Kenny,

That is why you have to stay there, so that the instructor can show it to you. How can you do a proper "race" (to call it that way) if you don't know the track? :)

Mike
