Everyone suggests that the DSG is a faster track car, yet nobody recognizes that the fastest Golf around the ring (Clubsport S) was 6mt.
I was not aware Clubsport was available with DSG.
Nurburgring is far from average tracks, most of us would get to play/race on. Cars that hold "ring" records would not be as dominant on shorter and more technical tracks around the US.
OP, congrats on the new car, but you made a bad choice
