OMFG Cale thank you. I've never heard a DSG before...holy shit that was fucking unreal...I guess I should give the new TT 3.2 with DSG some serious consideration...WOW!!!!!!!
...and agreed...the sound is really something insane. I'm not sure if it beats a turbo's blow-off-valve at gear shifts though...I think I'd get a headache eventually from that high-pitched sound.

DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) is just Audi's version of a sequential transmission. That BMW is using a hardcore custom-build race bred sequential box. When it comes to Audis, don't bother with the TT. It's about as exciting as watching your dog take a shit, in any trim. No consumer sequential gearbox will sound anything like that, 'cause they use helical gears, and not straight-cut
