Is the S-Tronic a DSG derives trans?

Yes, the S-Tronic was called DSG till 2005. The PDK in the new Macan is altough a DSG by VW since they now own Porsche. The PDK in the other Porsche Models are made by ZF a German Manufacturer.
The Cross Brand usage of Parts is at Max in the VW Company, further Info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Volkswagen_Group_platforms

The VW / Audi Group, Including Seat, Skoda, and now some Porsche models as well.

Interestingly this can play to our advantage in maintenance terms as many of the exact same interchangeable parts are cheaper from a Seat or Skoda dealer, than from a VW or Audi dealer.

I’d consider a tune some day, if I could get Darci to go along with it. My car is an automatic, I haven’t driven a stick since my WRX. I miss the car but not a clutch in rush hour. The GTI is a good balance for us. Good family car and a lot of fun.

I managed to sneak a few major upgrades past my wife. Had the following installed last week on my BMW: intercooler, cold air intake, charge pipes, downpipe, muffler, JB4 tune.
Luckily, she just thinks I did the muffler and tune

..reminds me, I did those few mods on my little Polo last week, told the insurance company and they promptly cancelled my policy !
Great, I said, what about the outstanding claim I have with you where some **** ??? reversed into me?

I can only imagine. I almost snagged a 135 coupe a few months ago for autocross, but could never find ones that matched my req. seems like you found a true gem for sure!
Hopefully I can check it out soon

^ i've been so tempted to get an m135 hatch (non LCI) 2011-13 recently. the prices for them are decent. and there's are whole world out there. i've seen a couple of guys in the uk tuning them to about 400-600hp range, including meth injected..
-
Yeah, that was the problem. People with a coupe, manual with no wrecks and no tune know what they have. Great autocross car tho, and the engine is amazing
Sadly, my dreams of a third car are probably crushed as we are about to go sell our souls to the devil in about 45 minutes lol [emoji23]

one of my good mates just traded in his a45 for the c63 amg 'green machine' edition. his wagon is one of 3 worldwide. i can't wait to see it in person and get some pictures…

Gave the M3 some tlc earlier.
Probably should've wiped the greasy camera lens on my phone while I was at it.
