Audi Q5 3.0T (APR Stg 2) Does 157 MPH...*Vid*

**scottisha** · 09-21-2013 03:58 AM

Drag strip was closed, so I made use of the cool weather and another "closed course" to see if I could hit 150mph. Well, it did 150 and was still pulling when I lifted. Ran out of road, I mean "track".

Nice! Not taken my SQ over 130 (yet). Will try and make a similar vid at some point to compare what the TDI can do!
How do you mount the cam btw?

Gopro mount on the steering column. It's actually the mount Arin@APR stuck there months ago when they made their video for marketing the software release for the Q5. I never took off the mount.

Nice, you weren't kidding about "still pulling", it still seemed very happy to keep going. You just need to try and find a track where you've got enough room to really top her out. For science.

Do you have a build thread?

I don't.
Honestly, I've seen other build threads that are way more involved, so didn't really feel mine warranted it's own thread.
Pretty simple list of mods:

APR Stage 2+ (93 oct tune)
Roc-Euro Intake
Scottisha Exhaust
H&R Springs
Stance SC-5ive 20x10 wheels with 275/40/20 Hankook Ventus V12's
ECS Tuning 5mm spacers at all 4 corners
Ceramic tint (15%)
Airblue windshield film
Hardwired Valentine 1 with remote mute switch
Blacked out chrome trim and emblems.

I think that's it.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be doing this again. Only so many times you can play with fire without getting burned. I need to save the other time for the Golf R. :)

At least we all know the answer to the question of top speed brought up in the other thread. It will absolutely do 160 mph and I seriously think with enough track, maybe even 170. Especially on race gas. :)

Scott, you're the man. That is all. Oh...you did a slick job of mounting those 18" tires on 20" rims. Sorry...couldn't resist. :)

LMAO.. and that's another reason I don't have a "build thread" someone would use my info to duplicate the build and my info would be all out of whack. Thanks for pointing it out. I must have been thinking of my Golf R wheel diameter.

Funny thing is I don't have a build thread for the Golf R either and it's one of only 3 built by APR (full engine build, head porting, custom APR tune, etc.) and holds the fastest published 1/4 mile time for a Manual trans Golf R (I think that will change this year though. Lots of big power builds out now)

Word up!

It's good though to get an idea of what others have done. I just sold my heavily modded A4 to get this SQ5 and I'm not sure if I want to go the same route. Thanks for posting the info

I looked at an SQ5 when my Q5 was at Audi for the 25k service last week. Love the interior (like the red ring around the start button) and I love the exhaust. Not to mention the huge front brakes.

I would love to have one, with the same mods that I have now. :)
