If DSG, 3rd. 2nd is so friggin' short.

Seconding this. 3rd will take you to 90mph if you want. After about 80 I'll shift into 4th. Probably past the HP curve when I shift, but I like the noise.

If you can hook, absolutely 2nd gear.
The fact that it's short doesn't matter when your shift time is non-existent with the DSG.
I'd have to test it, but I'm pretty sure my car is faster spinning in 2nd than hooked in 3rd, but that will vary by setup.
I'll mess with the Dragy and see which is faster (results may be unique to my car obviously).

On a tuned/piggback manual you can hit it in 3rd @ 40 mph in the meat of the torque.

OR... Buy good tires, actually hook in second, and destroy whatever your racing against. With a few OBD11 tweaks 2nd is my favorite gear.
Please don't make another thread asking what OBD11/VCDS tweaks you should do...
Lol that works too!

6th gear.
that way you won’t have to start a thread about what rpm you should shift at
