      Man, no shame in losing to a way lighter, LS swapped beast. That R was right in it. Faster reaction time and I think he would have had him.

      to be fair, It seems like if they launched at the same time, and the Golf R was left in auto, he would've won for sure. Also didn't seem like the Golf R had traction control off all the way since even my mk7 golf R stock squeals tires on launch with it off with all the carbon build up at 85k miles

    The Volvo hooks cause of the long first gear, but damn, it sounds like a powerglide the shift is so far out there. I thought the R might get out far enough on the launch that the Volvo wouldn't be able to run it down thanks to AWD, but whoopsie, we ended up with some of the closest races ever on This vs That.

      For sure with launch control the Golf R would've won. It is so much faster 0-60 with it. The launch control in the Golf R is very, very good unlike most cars of it's class that have launch control. Not even going to mention how DSG is not only faster but more consistent as well.
      Anyways, that Volvo is a beast, not trying to crap on it, it’s just the Golf R wasn’t given it’s opportunity to show 100% of what it can do

      With modern automatics. You have to let them do the work. It's hard to give up the manual shifting when for so long it was the faster way and making it about the driver and machine. So much of it now is left up to the engineers before the driver even sits in the car.
      You have to consider taking the manual shift as a personal accomplishment.

    The whole concept of the launch control on the golf is that you don’t manual change it

      just actually using a proper launch control on this stock one and not being asleep at the wheel wins this race lol

      @lnrbry 3 года назад +6

      Yeah. The DSG in sport mode, and the launch feature, should have made this even closer, if not a win for the R. And yeah also mad respect for that Volvo..

    • @frasersutherland6837

    • @JamieOrr

      It will chirp the tires on launch control, especially on the normal tires. Without it (and especially in Drift + ESC Off) it will let you spin the tires (and the car) as much as you want - included essentially doing AWD donuts. :-)
