Assuming this a remapped 3.6 TDV8, there is no way it's quicker or faster than an SQ5. TDV8 Range Rovers are not quick cars by any stretch of the imagination - L322 4.4 TDV8 performance is roughly on a level with very mundane rep fodder like a 520d. |

I'm inclined to agree with Trommel the VAG diesels are all good but the bi-turbo v6 used in the SQ is a seriously good engine that packs some punch ...I bet a remapped SQ would take a lot of beating |

I took it to mean mid range power/torque, ie. the over all power is perhaps increased by a small percentage, but what power there is has moved with in the rev range. So you don't have to thrash the thing to make it go, nor do you have to change up too early. Of course we've all left someone for dust, but you've no way of knowing if the person you left was really trying or if their car was in good health. Plenty of cars left the factory with XXX bhp, but after a few years of plodding around town only now have XX bhp, because everything is clogged up with soot from the EGR system. |

Have to agree with the sentiment of Audi drivers, all the c*cks seem to have migrated from BMW to Audi ... Have to agree though because every Audi I see berhind me always seems to sit 2 inches off of my rear bumper. Sometimes I slow right down, other times I have to pull the old brake test out of them, because seriously there's no |

Re midrange torque - have a look at the torque curve of a modern turbo-diesel, they're generally pretty much an artificially-pegged straight line from not far over idle. The notion that a remap takes you from 500 lb/ft at 2500rpm to 2500 lb/ft perhaps isn't too realistic ... |

I would say don't lose your dignity by racing anyone whether your car is faster or slower. You are in a Range Rover so who cares. |
