So the Q5 3.0 TFSI kicks ass.

All Q models & VW Touareg

I believe one ran 13.0 @ 104-105 yesterday night… Apr stage two

Edit… 13.30 @ 103.29

Kinda slow really. Surprised.

The 60-130 time was 15.9 seconds. Is that right Arin?

Seems like the transmission is really holding it back because starting at 60 mph will help it overcome weight a little… And making 366 whp, on a dyno where a stock rs4 makes like 300-310, you figure up top it is going to do really well. Stock rs4 runs 60-130 in around 14.0 at that da.

What does the q funf weigh… Is it legit 4400 or is it like 5000 and they’re lying?

Where’s the acceleration going?

I honestly don’t know a thing about my Q5 besides my wife loves it…so I’m happy. It actually handles great if it is in fact close to 5k lbs. and the 3.2 FSI isn’t too underpowered. I would definitely expect more from the tuned 3.0T, I agree that it has to be the tranny holding it back.

I’m not sure. They said “STANCE” on them.

#10

Was that at USP? They were on the beta stuff, closer to stage 1. The new stage 2 file, released yesterday, will be faster.

15.9 was the best I could get. Stock I could not get to 130 even though the gauge did if I’m not mistaken.

This 6200 RPM redline stuff is really frustrating.

I’m not sure about the weight. I shot it with 2 people in the car and the tank was pretty full. It’s also really hot right now.

Nice!! Very interesting results. What I expected from the hp improvement. Is there any difference between this 3.0T engine and the other 3.0T engines? It’s so much less HP stock than the other 3.0T’s, makes me think there might be someone more (or less? lol) than just a conservative tune.

I want to see one of these crack 12s… I am strongly considering getting one in 2015, such a great vehicle at the price point.

heat has a huge effect on 60-130 times. It can cost you a full second or more.

try it again on a cool-ish night alone with the pbox.

#13

Meistah - it’s so low from the factory because they limit power significantly in the ECU. In the tuning world, this is a giant present from Audi. : )

#14

It’s the stripper in the birthday cake, that’s pretty cool

Haha enjoyed that

#17

I guess he wants to be funny but I hope someone at the track sees this because

  1. he should be wearing a helmet
  2. he should be banned for fucking around and drag racing with no hands. You’re going 100 mph side by side with another car. If you blow a tire and veer into him because you were busy knee driving to look cool on forums, you might end someone’s life.

I’m glad he ran shit times. Fuck him and his fart can car.

#18

^^^ agreed. I’m not sure who angry mike is but it’s a pretty dumb move.

#19

I also agree… that is pretty stupid for him and others racing… He should be tossed for that… We had a fatality at our track last year and someone had to be life flighted this year after hitting the wall… The dragstrip is a place to have fun but not be a goofball and do things like this… Not cool IMO!

What’s with his lights being so ignorantly bright?

He probably VAG’d the intensity up on the LEDs

#25

The default is pretty damn intense in the rear.

#26

Looks like he’s braking the whole way down
