I scored some W8 lapel pins off of eBay Germany.

Today me and my younger brother were talking about how fun it is from 60 to 90 mph in 3rd gear and I came up with this out of nowhere... "This car makes my life smile".

"This car makes my life smile" Perfect summary of this car!
Also out of nowhere, I know the AT5 can still be in 3rd at 110... |

I sure would like to ride/drive an auto one day just to compare. Looking at the spec numbers, all I really see is a 1.5 second difference in the 0-60 time.

What I like about this gear box is that it's smooth and forgiving in almost any gear. My Rabbit GTI and Jetta GLI would get the shakes if the gear/speed/rpm wasn't matched up right.

I have a question, with the MT does your gas pedal get stiff, like it is at the end of it's movement, but then if you push you get like a little more? Mine stops at like 3/4 - 7/8 of its movement for like normal driving and then that last part is for racing/driving a W8 correctly.

No, not that I've noticed, it moves freely through the whole range of travel. I don't think I've ever pushed it all the way to the floor before though.

Does it do this with the engine off? If yes, I'll test mine with it off but I doubt I ever completely floor it (unless I have a legal and safe test track to go top speed).
