Did/Does your GTD catch you by surprise?

Hi everyone,

Had mine for about 12 days so far and yesterday was the first time I gave it a little push to overtake someone, it completely caught me off-guard and completely obliterated the car I was overtaking (luckily it was a long straight road and no one else about!).

Was just curious if anyone else has had that OMG moment :)

Needless to say I am very impressed with the power delivery of the GTD, oh and that was in normal mode too!.

Cheers

Dave
 
I'm used to the speed element as I had a Polo Blue GT previously, similar 0-62mph. What I didn't expect was the torque. It has the same torque has a Golf R and I love that feeling of being thrown back in my seat when I go to overtake.

Where it has surprised me is the comfort. Despite bigger, lower profile tyres and sports suspension, it is far more comfortable than my previous Volvo which was supposed to be comfy!

The only thing that catches me off guard is the dim witted DSG box.

You seriously need to try one of these Pedal boxes. You wont look back, im sure you can return if not satisfied. All this was mentioned by numerous members on this forum, all satisfactory comments.

Pedal box doesn't effect the gearbox at all.
All it does is modify throttle demand.

So does absolutely nothing for the DSG box.

I had one for about 2 weeks.
