GLI 35th vs MK7.5 GTI

Lol they're all just jokes. I really don't care what you drive. Sounds like your main problem was you went with Southbend but maybe that was before the DKM twin disc was an option

Most definitely.This was back in 2013, so I don't think DKM was available at the time. The south bend held wonderfully, but the maraca sound was hilariously embarrassing.

What's even more embarrassing is that after all the mods on the mk6, the Jetta could easily mop the floor with it after just a tune.

DSG or not, the MQB platform is a great improvement by VW

Update. Just had some stoplight fun in Mexico with another MK7 GLI also in pure gray. We both had lost complete traction once we hit the gas. We were both cracking up at the next light because it's barely 20F today in Chicago and the roads are all iced over. We both couldn't pass up running our twin. Comedic end to a Thursday!

Agreed. I love that working on my car makes working on my gf's MK2 Tiguan feel like second nature, and vice versa.

DSG is faster, no question. My 6MT is just fun, for me. I'm ok with fiddling with knobs.

So i just had my first GLI vs GTI 40 roll race and i got dusted! I have a 19 GTI DSG and my friend has a 19 GLI- is the GLI that much faster stock vs stock? Why?

 

[FST_NML]

Is the GLI DSG as well? I wonder if it has different gearing

Both are DSG

 

[jimlloyd40]

What gear were you in when the race started? How many car lengths and did he jump you on the start? And are you sure he was stock?

 

[mikedefran1]

2nd gear 40mph- he told me he was stock

 

[jimlloyd40]

What speed did you go to?

 

[goodvibes]

Could be as simple as gas.

If he's on the stock Hankook tires, you should have dusted him. First thing I replaced on the car. At stock, I couldn't get traction at all.

Were you in Sport mode? Manual shifting? Do you also have a 7spd DSG? Tons of variables.

Forever ago I watched a professional youtube video review comparing them both and the GTI was slightly faster to 60. I think they are essentially even, in this thread there are far too many variables at play. The only real difference besides the obvious they pointed out in the video was the cheaper materials used in the Jetta.

We were both in “Sport mode”, we ESC off the shifter was in manual so we could start in second gear and just let it shift it self after we started , both of us are DSG
