You might want to try going fbo. Believe it or not, the Eventuri intake definitely feels like it livens up the throttle response. I don't have anything else installed to compare, but, the downpipes, midpipe and maybe even the exhaust, may give you that 15-25hp bump that you're looking for. Eventuri "claims" 13-17hp, if I'm not mistaken.

If you want a faster G8x car, get a CS or CSL. The CSL is like "time-travel" fast in gear and the ZF is super tactile. I don't miss a manual at all. |

I had an MK7 GTI 6MT it felt very punchy down low with torque. Test drove the Golf R and it felt slower. (Knowing full well it’s actually faster than my GTI) I’ve had some run ins with M340. They jump out then I real them back in very easy and pull away no problem. |

OP, you want to feel some torque? Take the car onto a race track, go 125 in 4th and upshift to 5th. Even with the incredible amount of wind resistance and all of the other forces against the car, it will still push you against the seat.

Pulls in a straight line are fun, but you can only do so much with how fast these cars already are. Coupled with the fact that you simply get used to your car, the honeymoon phase can't last forever. This is why people dump money into power mods. The problem is we simply get used to that too.
To me, driver mod is the most rewarding mod, with brakes and handling being next, and power mods being all the way at the bottom. The catch is that it's almost impossible to drive this car at the limit on the street, no matter how hard you think you are pushing it.

I absolutely, totally, 100% agree with this. It's similar to how people develop tolerance to drugs and need more to continue to get the high they are seeking. The fact is that you get used to straight line speed really fast (pun intended). Most drivers can't extract more than 80% of what the car is capable, period. And those that can simply cannot do so on the street. So chasing more and more speed simply makes no sense to me, unless you are going to frequently track it. And if so, to your point, your #1 mod is enhancing your driving skill. And if you continue to extract more power from the engine, you are going to be left with inadequate braking and handling capabilities, so also to your point, would make sense to improve both before adding more power. |

Sure, the 6MT isn’t as punchy as the X comp, but there’s something very satisfying about nailing those shift from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th when you’re in the high RPM band on the interstate.

But that was his issue. You can go to jail for the top of 3rd let alone 4th. So you get two shifts 1 to 2 and to 3 and your done.

To the Golf R’s credit it moves out with urgency at lower revs and still manages to give a linear buildup of power all the way to redline. I don’t think they are mutually exclusive.

If what you’re looking for is enjoying full powerband and redlining around town without breaking laws, what you need is a less powerful car, rather than more power. Probably an NA or a small displacement turbocharged car. You could then wring out the engine all the time and enjoy the powerband, first through third gear, possibly fourth in highway without breaking the law.
Any car with more than 300HP, if we want to be honest to ourselves, have too much power than what we need to go around town in a civilized manner. M cars really shine on track and the G8X has now become a luxury authoban cruiser. |

What are your performance settings set at? If you’re not on MDM or DSC off you’ll likely have traction control kicking in throughout the pull which will definitely feel slower. Try Sports plus with MDM mode in M1 and DSC off in M2. (Just be careful in M2) My car spins in second and hazes the tires in 3rd gear depending on conditions. These things can trap 121 in the quarter mile with a good driver and conditions. (My previous ‘21 G82 manual and current ‘22 M3 manual are both the same so it’s not a “ringer” car)

Although this girl sometimes wishes she was in an automatic so i could smash the pedal down when the light turn green. I just can’t shift that fast and i really hate the 1st to 2nd zone. But once I’m in 2nd, she really moves out. |
