Excelerate Performance is very Excited about APR's latest release fr the MK7 Golf R and 8v S3! Stop by our Branford, CT headquarters and get flashed today!
"The results were astounding. By simply adding the APR Stage I ECU upgrade, the US spec 2015 Golf R DSG test vehicle completed every test quicker than the stock vehicle by a large margin. 0-60 MPH times were reduced to 3.8 seconds while the 30-130 MPH test was completed 5.9 seconds faster! Acceleration tests were conducted all the way to 140 MPH, which was reached 9.1 seconds faster with APR Stage I Software."

FWIW my little Audi A3 with a stage 1.5 Eurodyne does an absolute best 4.41 seconds 0 to 60 mph in ideal/perfect conditions down from a 5.9 secs stock but on average my car does a best 0 to 60 mph = 4.6 seconds or so.. the vbox charts below are my best 2 runs in very cold temps. 1 x 200 lb driver and 1 x 58 lb dog and full tank of gas.
but
the GOLF R is a 300 lb+ lighter car BUT for the GOLF R to go 3.8s 0 to 60 mph is insane.
Your video also shows that the Golf R with APR and S3 with APR pull much better above 60 mph than the A3 Mk7 with tune etc. It seems to be a good 1.5 secs quicker 60-100 mph from just the video.
Do you have some vbox charts you can post to get a baseline ?
