Thanks Channing!
Yeah man, any time.
I wish the DSG had a bit firmer of a shift when going balls out like the Mitsu had, but the DSG makes up for it by doing an excellent job of pretending to be an automatic. From what I remember with the Mitsu, if you put it in D it'd just get scared and confused.
It also doesn't have any driver controlled settings, aside from the sport mode for the trans, there are no other buttons to push. I kinda like that though, it just means the car is set up the way they wanted it in the first place.
They have tunes specifically for the DSG, but this car will never see one. I dont want to jeopardize the warranty that's on it for the next 40k, and I'm not even sure I'll tune the motor. If I do it'll be quite a ways down the road.

Not crazy about the DSG either, i preferred my TCSST on the Ralliart, but it's definitely way better than a traditional automatic.Really need to make some time and come down to see all of this!
