The 08 R32 only came with the dsg auto trans not manual so no missed shift. They are slow but the new Golf R is a completely different story. We have had a few R32 supercharged come thru work and they are mean.

I agree, i used to have a fully bolted and tuned 2003 vw gti 1.8T and that car was unbelieveable, but it was also lightweight as hell. I literally removed all interior pieces except driverrs seat and dash components(was single at the time so i didnt care about passengers lol) the only car that beat me in that thing was an evo9 with mods out the ass haha kinda disappointed in vw for making their cars so much heavier now. If they wwere as light as they used to be, they would be pretty good stock with these new motors

I raced one from a roll when I was stock and we were neck and neckthe whole time
QUOTE=jHarris8822;6830433]Ok, first off sorry i dont have a vid, the race just happened. But anyways on to the good stuff
So im driving home from morning errands, and get on the highway like normal. Im cruising at 70 and this R32 comes up beside me and just starts the 3 honks and i throw it into 3rd, then (surprising as hell to me) i leave him like its nothing. Dont know the guy or the car, but mine only has injen CAI, cat back, stage 2clutch, and some minor weight reduction. I expected to get raped since his is AWD and stock 250hp.maybe my cars faster than i thought? Lol[/QUOTE]

they only made them in DSG (auto trans) so it is highly doubtful that he missed a gear. Why are you so surprised? Contrary to how they look, they are very heavy cars at about 3500 pounds . Plus they only make about 200whp in stock form which is about what a stock ss/sc makes. So making no more power and weighing quite a lot more this outcome was logical.
The AWD driver sucks up a lot of power to the ground. Thus why "most" AWD cars are slower from a roll race.
