Weight distribution in 3.2 vs. 2.0T
Just out of curiosity, I went through the model guides to compare weights.
2.0T manual = ~3260 lbs
3.2 DSG = ~3660 lbs
My first reaction...HOLY F---G CRAP! Now the 2.0T DSG is only 70 lbs heavier than it's manual sibling, just for perspective.
The second thing I noticed is the weight distribution went from 60/40 to 58/42 on the 3.2. It's strange that the 3.2 gained 400 lbs and somehow the weight distribution has improved. The rear diff/running gear isn't THAT heavy!! And surely the 2 extra cylinders up front added a little weight. So what other junk did they put in the trunk of that 3.2 to come up with these numbers??

Oh BTW, GTI (DSG) curb weight listed as 3170 in R&T. I know you were confused on that earlier.

I thought of an analogy for sprung vs unsprung weight.Imagine running w/weight attached to your feet
