Aside from that, manual and DSG/DCT respond differently to your right foot. The RS5 DSG feels weird to me compared to my S4 6MT - something about it is not *immediate* when you go throttle on. I'm not sure if that's some fuel saving measure, or a "not in the maximum sport mode" setting, or if it's just a flaw of double clutch gearboxes that might be in the wrong gear.
LOL...you should try to drive a BMW with DCT sometime. Ain't like your VW tranny dude. And how come you don't just put your Audi in your photo? I know you've already been busted by the guy who's car you used. Audi forums must be dull.
