I know Im asking about a german car, front wheel drive turbo thats a paddle shiftable auto.
And being a long time troll and not regular member might get me banned but.... WHAT in the world does someone use it once for auto crossing in this type of car? leave in drive and not paddle shift and try to keep the revs up to allow turbo to stay under boost(about 3K revs)? try to paddle shift the auto and try to stay in boost (about 3K revs)? Im NO Michael S but on the street the paddles are a blast but seem to lag... but again its the street and you cant push it and plow through turns. Any input would be greatly appreciated. |

VW GTI?
I'd paddle shift it. Most likely you'll never get out of second, so use the paddles to keep it there so the car doesn't upshift itself into third should you get off the gas. Stupid question, but have you autocrossed before? This post has been edited by Gimp: Oct 6 2009, 02:15 AM |
