Oh hell. I am back in. Ordered a pizza yesterday for pickup, and a DDHC for delivery today. View attachment 115042

LOL!!! I knew it, the way you kept talking about your ex and the fact you didn't get rid of any of her stuff made it pretty obvious.. In the words of Kramer, "Why don't you two just admit that you're in love with each other!!!"
Congrats!

Lol. Touché.
So I end up getting a vehicle at MSRP, that apparently was someone else’s sold order, but only because I found a dealership that was reasonable, and it was approaching months end. At a time when the dealerships are struggling due to lack of any inventory- they were very motivated- but also professional. I got lucky

but this DDHC is everything we all hoped it would be. I haven’t had much drive time yet, but it is amazing.

Now the hard part, which one to drive? Can’t drive them both at the same time!

 

[SRTRS5]

True. It kills me lol.
The DDHC throttle response is spectacular!
The SQ8 still has turbo lag a bit -soon to be gone when the catless downpipes ( which are here!) are installed.

Pretty much loaded it up since this may be a long term one- as I am nearing retirement.
sport package with the rear diff, active roll stabilization an rear steering, plus all the other goodies in the lux package.
it is no Hellcat, but C/D timed at at 3.6 to 60 and I have already seen a vid of one running 11.8 stock. But the handling is other worldly and there is already a great tune available by the same company that added 100 HP to my RS5.
I am excited- but I can’t lie- bummed about the DDHC. The way the Audi guys treat you when your spending this kind of money is just Mars and Venus to what I got from Dodge. Being a brand loyalist and mega repeat client got me nowhere.

You will love the SQ8. My wife just traded her Jeep SRT in for a new SQ8 (Prestige, Lux, Sport, B&O, Black Opt) and she absolutely loves it. She has pretty much always driven an Audi with the Jeep being the one exception. The Jeep was fun but she is really loving being back in an Audi. Handling with the Sport diff and roll bars is mind blowing... no car that heavy should handle that well.

That is exactly what I have as far as packages and options. I am adding Downpipes and an aggressive tune.

Then I will get some good videos of the two beasts running next to each other

See my videos and post in the “License Plate Karma” thread for an update on the 2 vehicles.

I wonder what your SQ8 runs in the 1/4 mile, that thing is fast. Do you have a Dragy?

It ran 11.9 stock on Dragy. Then it ran 11.7 withe stage one tune. Then it ran 11.69 when I added Downpipes. Then this morning it ran 11.5 with stage 2 tune- but power cut before the 1/4 mile was complete. The tuner forgot to eliminate speed limiter(130 MPH but it starts cutting power significantly at 118).
The MPH and 0-60 also improved with each stage/upgrade. I will post dragy in a minute.
