400hp red sport first drive
Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 First Drive Road & Track
When I hear reviews saying. It's no BMW, I just have to dismiss them. Especially when the BMW is behind both Cadillac and AMG in performance. I know the infiniti lacks and DAS was the worst idea for the Q50/60 variant. They should started that with the big car. Perfected it, then moved it into the sport entry. But it seemed like the infiniti engine is a true winner but the author rather have spent more time talking about infiniti's identity crisis over giving REAL IMPRESSIONS on the engine. I agree the Q series is not the most exciting looking car since other cars have introduced but... I would like some more objectivity from a performance aspect.

I would like to see the BMW fanboys answer me when I ask them what BMW has for $48k that would roast the Q50 RS. Truthfully, even some of the purest BMW dudes are saying that the current M3/4 are among the softest performance cars BMW has released. I mentioned it in another thread, but a Cadillac ATS-V wins for me over an M3. The Mercedes AMG C63 would as well. Autoblog did the best job reviewing the car. I'll dig up the review and post it - the guy that drove it gave thorough feedback. He wasn't swinging from the nuts of the car, but he wasn't stuck in his last BMW review either.

However, if I could swing an R34 when the time is right, then SO BE IT.

I'm just so confused.... that's why I haven't made a move. These types of decisions are so emotional. Then there's a used F-Type R that just screams, buy me buy me. Lots of good choices. Different philosophies of driving to enjoy.

Infiniti's 400 hp Q50 Red Sport 400 priced from $48,885
So you have to buy a red car to get 400hp. They're saying $48,885 I'm guessing the Q60 gonna be about $54,000 I'm guessing a 400hp Z would have an entry price of about $40,000?

Q50 red sport 400 is 49k for the RWD and 51K for the AWD. obviously rounded up to even up the numbers.

Ouch, $40K base Turbo z35? I was hoping $35. Some decent options and $50k is awfully close. Which puts "on the fence" buyers, well on the fence. Not to ruffle feathers but yet the main reason I traded my Z for a 3.8. Whole lot more for quite a bit less. Yes it's lacking a couple ticks in speed but I've never noticed it DD it. And with Genesis going solo, along with Ford and Chevy $40k options this Z35 better be spectacular. I'm not dismissing it, I love Z's, they've pulled many rabbits out their hat. I'm hopeful.

The Gen will NEVER HANDLE or have the driving dynamics of ANY 2 SEAT sports car let alone the Z. With a 16 hp deficit an automatic Z demolishes auto Gen's. They only compare acceleration in manual transmission. Steering feel, seating position, seat contouring for serious driving, Rev limiter bouncing, DRM/SRM, AKEBONO, Rays wheels, ALUMINUM suspension and many other internals are far more superior to the gen, that's why they practically give u a nav for free. They know what they lack. Even the brembos on the Gen need more than just pads n RB600. You forget unlike everyone else here I know the gencoupe inside out. Nobody here cares to give it respect. I do... I like the gen a lot...but... It's NO 370Z. Not even a little bit. If you think they're close in performance it's cuz you've never pushed both of them. The Z needs Koni yellow swifts n an alignment n ur good. Gen needs the high end stance or ark suspension set up just to compete with a Z. Keep it real mah man
