SQ5 vs Macan S vs GLE 450

[quote=“bigserve134,post:20,topic:8707”]
;D

I am the crazy guy that drives a Porsche the like Porsche truck. That said if at the limit doesn’t matter and ultra sporty doesn’t matter and better dollar per value sq5 all day. Especially if you like superchargers over turbochargers.

Its good to have you posting again here.

Also the underlined had me laughing. I think I would get pissed driving a mazda 3 too. A SQ5 is a big jump out of that.

do you know what is actually forged. I have heard that before but never found out what is actually stronger.

Yes, I’d like to know the details as well. The dealers told me it was stronger as well then the base 3.0t in the q5, I thought it was similar to the s4 motor but I could be wrong. No one could confirm that for me a few years ago

Found some more details on that

[quote]Much more than a ‘chipped’ 3.0T

Fundamentally, the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 follows the same design as that in the Q5 3.0T. Yet in case you’re wondering, you can’t simply ‘chip’ a Q5 3.0T and arrive at an SQ5; there are plenty of serious upgrades in the SQ5. Compared to the existing supercharged V-6 of the same displacement in Q5 3.0T models, the engine in the SQ5 has a stronger crank, stiffer block, and different intake and exhaust manifolds. Brakes have been upgraded—both with bigger rotors and calipers and with a stronger brake booster—and engine cooling capacity has been raised. To work with that, there’s a larger front end, for more airflow under the hood (that, plus wider tires actually make its coefficient of drag a bit higher).

Sounds reasonable. Thanks!

mostly fluff if we’re honest. Nobody is doing any of those modifications other than maybe bigger rotors. Nobody is sitting around saying ‘I just don’t think the crank in my Q5 is stiff enough…’

do you even have a car? You’re in every forum saying you’re going to buy one.

Huh, what does that mean?

Back on topic, did a car get purchased?

that was me asking you if you have a car. If so, what do you have? Post a pic. You’re posting about buying every car under the sun, and about owning/driving tons but it doesn’t seem you own any.

Haha ok, Saki whatever you want :slight_smile: can’t we all just get along?

^^ it’s just a question. I’m curious as well as to what you’re driving.

seems to be an approach you take all over the internet…fantasy buying all kinds of cars. But actually buying none.

fantasizing about buying a 911 turbo…

So…what do you drive? We’d love to see.

If saki searches 6speedonline, m5board, and rennlist he will see my former 06 m5, 08 s6, and current cayenne GTS? Maybe he can post from those sites as well, that would be helpful.

If you all trust jimmy he worked on my car on and off for over a year on my 08 s6 from brake jobs, to atf fills, etc. and we began to scan the ecu and begin prepping for further mods. Hopefully you all trust him :slight_smile:

Happy to make a formal introduction post if people are interested in the journey?

Back to the topic…Hoping we see what car this person chooses to buy. He seems to be considering other cars, just like I have in the past. They all have pros and cons and feedback seems relatively neutral here though.

Cool. Intro threads are great. Would be a good contribution to our S6 section.

After a few hours at the dealer last night we got a killer deal on this glacial white new SQ5 lease!

Congrats on the purchase. I’m partial to white on audis as well! How does it compare to ibis?

Congrats from the owner of 2 Glacier White Audis - cool color, and nice car!

Amazing how that quattro traction allows the car to grip the wall like that without damaging the front end on the ground, no? ;D

Ibis is a warmer white, whereas Glacial is a cooler white, which we prefer.

Hell ya! Quattro is amazing!

Yeah, in certain lights I like ibis. All White audis look great tho.

You see nice white, red, and black accents with these white cars!

Have fun all!
