So I think most of us have seen the APR video of the 430WHP APR Stage 3+ car on Youtube..
For those that havn't here you are..
Anyways I thought I would have another look just to see what was going on, maybes get a little comparison against the S3 to gauge what kind of numbers im running currently.. It does look very very quick if you concentrate on the speedo..
I have a video of my car doing a pull through the gears and noticed that it flys through the revs far quicker than the APR car, but the speed is far lower.. Which brought me to the following..
The APR car is doing 60MPH at 4300rpm in 3rd gear.. Just for a comparison, both the ED30 and the S3 are doing 5000rpm, so thats 700rpm, or x amount of MPH that its over reading, and thats only in 3rd..
If you watch the video from the 50 second mark you will notice.. So they do a pull in 3rd / 4th and a little in 5th
At 7000rpm its doing..
3rd gear - 92mph
4th gear - 125mph
And at the 16 second mark hes at..
5th gear - 159MPH
Compared to the S3 that is doing.. (only have figures for 3rd gear)
3rd gear - 80MPH
So thats 12MPH more just in 3rd lol..
So basically the conclusion that I have came to is that either its the car MASSIVELY over-reading or APR have fudged the video.. If its the latter then thats a pretty piss poor way of making a car look faster than it really is.. Although I suppose its taken up until now for someone to notice lol..
Anyways just thought I would point it out and see what anyone else thinks?
And hopefully someone from APR can explain?
