SpaceX – Launch Vehicle Failure
Can Dragon abort and separate at Max Q? If I recall correctly the Space Shuttle had several flight periods at which it wouldn't have been able to separate from the boosters and / or tank.

Yes. Later this year they're doing an in-flight abort test not-quite-at-max-Q, but close enough. Source:

It's worth noting that that's Dragon V2.

To my knowledge, Dragon V2 can abort throughout the launch.
