What about the other questions in terms of the feel of the motor?

First of all I want to put out a disclaimer that I don't really think its fair to compare aftermarket modded cars. I compare stock with stock; apples with apples. I'm sure you could throw a million dollars into a Chevy Cruze and make it sound like a fighter jet but it's irrelevant.
So with the 2020 Q60, it's not linear like the 370Z. It's faster, but doesn't feel faster. I know a couple people on here say the VQ sounds thrashy, but thats what contributes to vibrations that are also a big thing in what makes a car 'feel' fast.
Listen, as a motorcyclist I find too many car people are hung up on specs instead of raw feelings and emotion, and I guess as a motorcyclist I find the thrashy engine appealing.
I'm going to try to make the difference between my stock 2020 Z and a stock Q60 as clear as mud. After test driving the Q60, which included several hard acceleration pulls; my wife told me the Q60 didn't do anything for her emotionally at all. The gunmetal 2019 370Z demo we test drove on the other hand, when I did hard acceleration pulls, got her p**** wet. This played a big factor in placing a factory order on a 2020 Passion Red.
