We were pretty confident that we could easily run low 13's and get close to the 12's based on our APR 93 octane dyno testing if we upgraded the front tires and got the launch right on all stock hardware. Unfortunately the best we could muster with our 6 speed manual car was a 13.12 second pass. APR released an update to their Stage 1 tune the other day and I knew with the improved power in first gear we could get into the 12's on 93 octane with all stock hardware.
It's a six speed manual car with the stock clutch and only 550 miles on the odometer, but we were easily able to achieve this time. DSG cars should easily be able to best this. APR Stage 1 Version 1.1 is incredible. It's insane that with only this tune and upgraded front tires we were easily able to run a 12, and can probably improve on this time with some more practice. If you are in the Great Lakes region and own a MK7, we think you should bring it to HS Tuning for an APR Stage 1 ECU upgrade. Also, if you haven't subscribed to our "MK7 Stuff" thread, please do. We're going to continue all of our updates and testing in there.
