I decided to run a second test drive of the Q60. My BIGGEST complaint has to be, the lack of connection to the road. And this is not even DAS. I should test drive a DAS back to back but I'm sure it only gets worse. It was pretty bad when I did a while back.
The engine sound is kinda cool, but understated compared to a Z, for sure. I know our Z's are a tad bit raspy, so most cars sound better, but you know what I mean. The Q60, if it's meant to be a sport offering feels incomplete. The MOST impressive thing about it is... acceleration. It handles well, but doesn't put it down in the corners as you're getting no real communication except the seat of your pants. And even that is more limited than say a Giulia. Maybe cuz NASA? They really need to come out with that black sport. And use the hydraulic rack from the AMG GTS.
Something is calling me and telling me... retest the Camaro. Or even possibly buy a 2SS but make a 1LE conversion out of it. And then tune it for 3:36 gears in the automatic? I'd live to do an N/A build with body bracing and 550HP.
