Congrats again Chuck!

Thanks Luke, I’ll just need to chase down that 11.40 now haha. I went to almost every possible test and tune over the last month so I’m actually looking forward to taking a break.

Any numbers posted yet for the 7.5 R? Curious how much performance is actually gained w the new transmission.

Great numbers. Hope to have my golf r that fast by end of year. That is just awesome times. Keep showing everyone what these vw dubs can do.

Haven't seen any but I'm sitting next to three of them at a VW dealer.

Which dealer? I may be looking to go from manual to dsg.

Autobarn Mount Prospect, if you go there ask for Eric and tell him Luke sent you. I just bought my 6th car there . Traded in wife's 2015 Sportwagen and I am a new proud owner of a tornado red 2018 Alltrak.

That's insane! Does this mean the 1.8t > 2.0t? It's not like you have a weight advantage. Is your engine even built or is this stock internals?

Also, now for 10's?

That's the one I was hoping you weren't going to say. I got my 2016 R there. I'll never do business w them again.

What happened? Eric has always taken good care of me. They are under new management if that makes a difference.

Faster than the Golf R is38 record. Amazing.

Yeah, consider the wagon weight more than the hatchback

It just wasn’t a good buying experience, not going to air dirty laundry here. Partially my fault for letting it happen but it’s been the one negative to owning the car. If you read the reviews online they’re almost universally bad so I don’t think I was an isolated case.

Well overall they have a 4.3 out of 5 so they must be doing something right. The bad ones will always happen, those are usually two sides to the story though. PM me to keep this thread clean, I have some inside information and would love to hear more about your experience.
