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 ...

Anyway the audi is better build- quality/reliability etc

If anyone is sitting right up another car's trumpet, and then they run into the back of 'em, yes they're idiots, no matter who it is, no matter what they drive, there's no excuses for not leaving enough room infront of someone, just in case. If a child or animal or someone with earphones in walks out infront of you, and you have to pull an emergency stop, that's game done for the car behind isn't it..

If my mum, wife, daughter, any family member of friend rang me and said "Ahh, I've hit someone up the arse, was following too close and couldn't stop in time in a 30 zone", you're damn right I'd say you're stupid and you deserved it. Next time leave a space between yourself and the car infront. I don't have double standards, Sir.

Anyway, what, you'd say different? Oh no, it's alright love, it's not your fault, it was the car infront's fault, he had to stamp on the brakes because a toddler ran out infront of him, you were completely in the right being 5 inches behind the vehicle infront........ Or, nah, next time we'll just run a child over...

Jheezus...

It's not about whether it's family or not, it's about not wanting to crawl in my exhaust, and the probable consequences if you do.

To be honest, that sounds like a really dangerous thing to do - does it make you any better than the TT driver

Before the RR I had an Audi (and would happily drive another) and I am not a muppet, d1ck or c*ck - I think generalising about a certain type of person driving a particular brand of car is really silly - there are plenty of d1cks, etc driving all sorts of cars including Range Rovers

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.

After driving a standard tdv8 I can see your naivety but yet

Have to agree with the sentiment of Audi drivers, all the c*cks seem to have migrated from BMW to Audi ... To the odd RR driver

And if it had been your wife or daughter in the car and someone did the same to them ... would they be a dope too ....

Or more’s the point. If the police knocked on your door and told you someone had killed a loved one by stamping on their brakes (because they felt the woman following them was too close and needed a lesson teaching them), making them loose control and have a head on collision with a bus full of school kids! Would you feel the same way then sir?

Next time you might think of the consequences before purposely driving dangerously in front of others!

Not saying tailgating is in any way condonable! I for one hate it! BUT, The highway code states you should pull over and let the offending car go rather than react!!! LAW...

Sorry to but in Mick

This thread is going rapidly down hill.......

Is there no way these posts about racing on public roads and 'i'm better than you because I drive a Range Rover' be deleted or something moderators?
I look at a few different marque forums I cant be alone in the whole fast car thing just turning me off. And messages like this just get reposted somewhere else tarring us all with the same brush.
For the record I drive an L322 as a work vehicle for fairly obvious reasons for its good off-road ability and something else for comfort and speed.

And did I seriously just read about someone boasting that they'd made someone swerve so much that they hit the curb?! Unbelievable and incredibly depressing.

Lets keep this great forum for interesting things please?

^Well said. We drive FFRR's because they are great cars, despite the issues made apparent on this forum. Whatever you think of Audi, Merc, BMW drivers, the rules of the road should be obeyed. We are just drivers of a great marque. If others choose a different make and model of car then we should accept it and respect that decision. As my driving instructor said to me many years ago, treat every driver on the road an idiot, you never know what they will do next.

And I have had only had 23 crashes since....only joking  SDV8 AB MY 2019
SDV8 VSE MY 2015 - Gone
5.0 S/C AB MY 2010 - Gone
4.2 S/C VSE MY 2006 - Gone

I don't find its a car you feel you want to drive fast and you don't get many jokers giving you the eye at the lights looking for a race ( used to get that just about every time i drove my Golf GTI ) saying that i did teach a guy a lesson in a pimped up Q7 away from the lights, sometimes you just can't help yourself  Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

I haven't driven an SQ5 but my un-touched 3.6 TDV8 isn't something I'd put in the ring against something half the weight with similar power outputs?

Like Gaz said, it's a Range Rover...why would you race  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........
