QS5 vs. S3 anyone have performance comparisons

[2015S3]

Was wondering if anyone had information/experience on comparisons in terms of performance vs. performance?

How would a stage-2 S3 fair against a SQ5 and how would a stage vs. stage compare?

They're pretty close in a straight line stock for stock, but the S3 will obviously kill the SQ in any sort of handling performance since it weighs over 1000 pounds less and has a much lower center of gravity.

Not sure on stage 2 for the S3, but most basic stage 2 SQs seem to run around 12.5 sec @ ~ 110mph in the quarter, though high 11s has been done and is achievable.

I've had both. I prefer the SQ5 linear powerband much more to the S3. The SQ5 is quick! It even handles quite well.

The do make tunes for the SQ5, too.

We have both, both are Stage 2, and with LC the S3 is quicker hands down. On the street without LC I would guess they're about even, the SQ5 will get a jump due to the transmission and the linear power band.

The SQ5 is no slouch in the corners, but not as light and nimble as the S3 obviously. I can hold my own just fine in the SQ5 through the canyons...being lowered on KW V3s helps.

FWIW...I enjoy driving the SQ5 more.

Agreed with all the above the SQ5 is quick guys! I learned first hand
