There are ~5 of us with tuned ECU's
Are we going to have an Octavia shootout?
It's a chance for Matti to prove is dirty diesel can haul ass!

Not a Skoda, but i might be tempted to take the Golf for a run. Im not at all interested in 1/4 mile drag racing, but would like to know how it would go down the strip at the same time. Prob low 13's in a manual.

would b a good opportunity to test out the dsg software upgrade i'll b getting shortly.
unfortunately i won't b able to make a trip up to sydney for the next couple of months due to family reasons.

The DSG firmware upgrade won't make any difference during a full throttle 1/4 mile drag

Hey - it's a VW event so you will be right at home for sure

I'm the same as you, 1/4 mile drag racing holds very little interest for me
Although I was fascinated with the modified but street legal Golf R doing 10 second passes - Respect!

This is something I would just do once out of curiosity

Would be funny if MCM came with their S2000 and turbo MX5 - LOL

its not a firmware upgrade i'm talking about - i'm talking about a Performance DSG Software Upgrade.

when it comes to drag racing, i know faster shift responses make a difference, which is exactly one of the things the dsg software upgrade does. the dsg in its stock form is quick as it is, but faster than quick can't b bad.

Just go for fun , you guys seem to be so serious about it !

Yeah - in the IT industry we call that firmware - same difference

It won't make any meaningful difference to our 1/4 mile times,
our cars are so slow that two or three faster than quick gear changes will make a negligible difference

I am interested in the DSG upgrade but for other reasons

I don't think any of us are serious about it - it would just be a giggle
But I do like giving Matti a hard time about his beloved dirty diesel

Even dirtier now thanks to DPF delete and stage 2 remap - how much does the drag thing cost and are helmets required? I don't have one!
