Love the videos! From a “boomer” that has the same car, color and 12k miles. The only things I’ve done are a Unitronic carbon fiber intake, turbo inlet pipe and a Stage 1+ tune. Rock on, Pete!!
Awesome videos man! Had no idea you went to the school in my hometown! Thought I saw a familiar looking R lol. Anyway just wanted to say big fan, you’re killin it!
Nice job. You didn’t mention anything about being in sport mode. Does race mode automatically put the car into sport or can you do launch control without being in sport mode? Also, will it launch in manual mode? If you get the OBD Carista car chip, it will now tell you how many launch controls the car has made. It also means that the dealer can check that if the clutches start slipping over time.
Ok so I love your blue mark 7.5 golf R!!! But after I so how fast that new mark 8 is, I think you should consider upgrading as soon as possible!!! I would love to see what a true owner has to say about the new golf R, sincerely considering it for myself, especially after I so how close it is to the Mercedes A45s.
Interesting, I have a 2019 R and when I’ve done launch control the gear stays in 1st sort of hanging then shifts it’s not as smooth as your launch you just did. Could it be because I may have pressed the pedal all the way down to the click?
congrats, but the R has a click down point? I thought the pedals were mounted to the top ? Not the floor. I thought only floor mount pedals had a click down point?
@@NewEnglandPete i did as well, i got them 1 week before we got snow here in feb. In Tx. Couldn't have timed it any better, i experienced all 3 varieties dry/wet/snow in one friggin week. How do you like them on the R? Im uni 2 fbo and now i have no slip in 2nd which is cool but almost odd. Otherwise i love them, wet handling is beastly.
Nice launch dude. Probably good it was raining. Shows off the great traction capabilities of the R.
Thanks! Love my R.
Traction comes from tires bro not the capabilities of the R.

They stg1 tuned a mk8 R in Europe and bumped it up to 440hp just wth a stg1 tune
I truly believe that it actually has around 380 hp
Thanks! The Mk8 is gonna be sweet.
@@NewEnglandPete hopefully we get that drift mode
Sheeeeeesh! congrats brotha you deserve it!
Thanks my man! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Awesome content, keep it up

BTW why didn’t you get the Michelin PS4?
I actually ended up getting Conti DWS06
Good shit Pete, congrats.
I'm still waiting on that "salt bae of the dsg shift" merch to drop 😄👍
Did you go with dws 06?
Thanks Kyle! and yes I did snag those DWS 06 tires. Maybe I will drop a limited time DSG salt bae merch.

How about Touareg R, lol, is it possible?
I launch mine at least once a week
Same lmao
Is there a limit to how many times we can launch them? Keep hearing about how there’s a limit lol
200 launches I believe.
@@NewEnglandPete there is no limit 😂😂😂
Hi why does my golf r wheel spin when i do launge controll

Is your car with opf?
2:08, guy looks back XD
Hahahah yee yee

Say it with we me “ Das Auto” Mk Gang
Why not have it rev out hard and change harder? :P
Jealous of the R, MK7 APR Stage 1 GTI and I just spin the tires when launching.
My GTI was the same story.
Do you still date the girl from your GTi videos? Just found them yesterday
Sometimes mine doesn’t want to engage
