@@SamCarLegion a good set of tires on the z will change everything
100% they will
Let’s just appreciate that we live in a time where 400hp is considered the lower end of “sports” cars. Imagine 30 years ago telling our grandparents/parents that their 200 hp Camaro would be considered slow and would be beat by a Japanese import .
It's cause of their weight and engine placement. Cars have gotten more fat over the years, Porsche is a pretty good example of keeping low HP but better engine placement and speed. Most of them are under 400hp but can hit 0-60 in 4-5 sec
That's Japanese HP not European HP (they always underrated their hp figures)
@@francisgomes9976 sure guy
Lower end sports cars don’t cost 60k 🤣
@@invalidusername_5101 it's true.. whether you except it or not, Lexus/Infinite/Acura cant match their European counters parts (Bimmers, Benz, Alfa Romeo, Audi) when it comes to performance.
But Asian luxury sporty cars are more reliable for sure. On the other hand American brand doesn't excell in performance nor in reliability (Cadillac blackwings, and few muscle cars worth more than $75k maybe can hang in performance wise)
You actually did it! I was wondering when the big channels were going to cover this obvious race.
NO ONE but you.
Thank you!
So true, seemed like the obvious move. Glad my car got to be the one!
I was infatuated with Infiniti in the mid 2000’s. Loved the exhaust note of the G, FX, and Nissan Z!
Cmon no m56 or fx50
Now they only make one decent car lol 😂
@@Toyota4Life not true
Infiniti messed up when they renamed their entire line up "Q". Any legacy from the G or FX was tossed. It got even more confusing when they renamed the G37 the Q40 in the final year, while concurrently selling its successor, the Q50. At the time people thought Q was for the flagship sedan, the Q45, which they discontinued.
Got myself an 09 G37 sedan and I love the car. Got a full exhaust on it and it sounds beautiful.
Q60RS, in my opinion, is much nicer car. I'd take that over the Z any day.
if only it had the 6 speed
@@jesusserrano4670imagine the Q50 with a 6 speed.
Q50 all day. Front end is especially nice on the red sport
Sorry boys only thing closer to any of these two is the g37MT
@@soysoloe1919 lots of g37 owners have done a vr transmission swap. For automatic it does great 👍 and plus that’s a slow car not in the same league as these
TTRS vs M240i vs C43 AMG
No c43… c43 is not in the same segment. 2 series goes against A series. It would be tuned A35 AMG or A45S
Keep ‘Em coming, you guys are on a roll. Love it!
Wow your content is never short oh amazing!! Always keeping me on the edge of my seat! This video had me truly guessing on the winner!!
Q60 sounding good with AAM competition catback 👏👏
Still sounds like a garbage trombone
@@djardy07 only if you own a Honda
😭”warmin up the tires” really well there, in the beginning
The new Z needs urgently Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport or Dunlop Sport Maxx Sport or maybe the Race tyres from Dunlop.
Are you on drugs lol dunflops are the worst tyres ever
@@lexman8678 really? Oh thats very sad
im wondering if that 9 speed auto would fit in a q60 🤔
Sam If you ever need another Infiniti, I have a fully stock 4d AWD Infiniti RS , with Michelin Pilot Sport-tires , no run-flats. No tune. Hit me up anytime
He's always lookin since mine is gone. Where are you located?
From All vr30 owners we appreciate the spotlight 🥹. Now throw a tuned luxe at the redsport and Z😅
no one cares about an ugly base model turd. people that buy those are the same people that add water to kool-aid to make it last longer.
It’s great to see the z take a win, that old 7AT in then q’s really held back the power and capabilities of that VR30
I said this and the comments tried to cancel me
The q really did good
The Q60 with the old "jatco 7speed" still did good, considering that the Z is almost 500lbs lighter. if the Z had the 6speed that Q60 would have won from a dig and roll.
@@Cali4nium I mean of course, if you want a faster 0-60 A/T is where it's at. But I'm picking up that 400z in a 6 speed, any day over the Infiniti for spirited and fun driving. Then I'm picking a 6 speed A90 GR Supra over either of these options after.
Although that blue leather in the Z, is an underrated color choice for leather.
ima disagree with you on that one, more gears doesn't always mean faster. the older 7 speed automatic was dual clutch and if tuned properly was and still is a great transmission. still quicker than a Manuel.
really hope Infiniti updates the Q50 and Q60 with the 9 AT and new interior. the car has so much potential with VR30
Sadly discontinued, if not I would have traded my current Q60 RS AWD for a new one w/ the 9 speed lol! #wishfulthinking
@@djivan831 Can't you just swap the transmission? It'd be pricey I'm pretty sure
@@raijin8718 maybe for the RWD models, but not for the AWD models which I own 😢
Discontinued after 22 model. I agree, car had so much potential. Sadly just weren’t selling a lot. Infiniti is focusing on their suvs and crossovers. That’s what sells. I’m sure they will kill the q50 soon too. But, you don’t see many of these on the road. Wouldn’t be a bad car to buy used.
@@ashescat99I doubt they’ll discontinue the q50 anytime soon, it’s way too popular.
400 HP is plenty. My first car was a 1987 Sentra coupe with 70 HP. I bought some sticky 13 inch Pirellis and tore up the town.
Love both of those beasts 😍
And let’s also appreciate that we are still getting awesome cars in manual.
Not many, but a few
The q60 is way better looking and I don't know why people hate the interior of the q60. I have the q50 rs and love the double din info system.
The software in the Q60 is old and outdated. The one in the Z (and in every other modern Nissan) is miles better
I put a giant android tablet screen in my Q60S RS and it makes all the difference, especially with all of the interior carbon fiber accents. My 2019 has been mistaken for a new car by a few people I've had in it
the q60 is the better platform once you start adding power because of AWD.
It's not a sports car though, but if you want to go faster in straight line I guess it's an okay choice.
The Z already went 9.80s@135 with drop ins
At the track with prep Q60s are going to get destroyed by Zs lol
@@oemj7147 that doesnt make sense if the predecessor was a sports car. Then what is it now then?
@@thekoenigsegg How was the predecessor a sports car?
Great match up Sam! Merry Christmas!
These engines also make more than 400hp
The vr30 makes around 380whp stock and 350wtq stock so it's definitely underrated
I own a q60 redsport love it and a jb4 will make it beat alot of v8s stock and should help it keep up with the new Z which weighs less than my awd q60
I've been waiting on the race for a long time!!!! Maybe if the Q60 wasn't a awd would of been a close race, 500lbs is a lot to carry! But overall good video!
Fr bro they should of done the red sport rwd so its a more even race
@@ronnieoquendo4272 RWD q50/60 are not available in our market
I’m confused i thought AWD q60 is faster I had RWD q60 & everyone saying I should have gotten AWD. So which one better ? 🤔
@@DareAjStash awd is better for traction but the added weight hurt it from a roll race.
Neither is really better or worse but the RWD model needs a good LSD to handle that much power.
Who roll races? Lmao. Only youtubers do this. Real races start from a stopped position. Most races start at a stoplight.
Thank you for this Christmas present 🎁! Nissan & Infiniti ❤️
In the 3rd roll labeled "manual shift", the Q didn't manual shift. The race where he did manual shift, he tends to short shift. That race might be even closer with better shifting.
The Z has been a disappointment so far. The only race I've seen it constantly win is against the Stinger. It pretty much loses against everything unless it starts from a roll :(
bad tires
Becase the factory tires are awful, they need proper sports car tires
The only two cars I seen it lose to is the supra and mustang which both cars have more power than the Z……
@@TheHybridQ50S in nz that mustang loses to everything lol even used Japanese imports that cost $20k gap those mustangs lol
@@lexman8678 a 10AT coyote(especially modded) losing to everything is unheard of lol
Another great video Sam happy holidays 🙏
If you like dig racing, get a Q50. If you like roll racing, get a Z. Q60 just looks so much better imo.
Cool to see. My ex wife ( 05 G35) and me (06 350Z) would often race the cars to see how they stacked up. Can confirm, exactly what happened here will happen for the next decade plus.
350 lighter it’s gonna be the faster car g ain’t no slouch tho
@@ImJusSha exactly.
I’ve beaten many Z cars in my G37 sedan
I've beaten so many Zs in my Fbo G35x. But i also have weight reduction
@@justdrive5327 ok.
When I first heard about the z and watched it's reveal I was really considering buying one but it looks way better on paper and it's constantly being shown as a disappointment when it's actually on the road
I have to agree with you.
It's a nice car and I was really hoping it would be as good or better than the Mk5 Supra but out of the 2 cars I'd happily have the Toyota.
@@desirabledrives44 but when was the z ever better than the Supra? Even with them both in their prime, arguably in the mid to late 90s, the Supra has always been quicker/ faster
@@bpearr8266 Correct. The Supra was a competitor to the older GTRs
@@desirabledrives44 In Australia (in the state of NSW), the Supra GST is AUD $104,415 (USD $70,163) drive-away (there is no dealer mark-up). The Nissan Z (similar model to the USA Nissan Z Performance) is AUD $80,114 (USD $53,833) drive-away (there is no dealer mark-up).
Although the Supra has better overall performance, the Nissan Z seems to be better value with it being about AUD $23,000 less than the Supra.
@@ekokobeajong the supra was never a gtr competitor. It has always been a car compared against the Z. The GTR is just a hotter version of the skyline sedan.
Sad to see the Q50 and Q60 retired, so close to being a BMW killer. But fell short. Own a Q50 3.5 natural aspirated car, loved it. What we don’t talk about on these channels is long term maintenance costs and up keep. Love to see 3 plus year of ownership reviews, of Infiniti vs BMW. Hope the next gen. electric cars pulls Infiniti back in the sport sedan. seems they are sinking the research and design into the cross over QX60 vs a car I bought for performance with lower long term maintenance, than those off the lot beauties!
The vr30 is faster than the b58 so it is a bmw killer
I’ve had my BMW m240i for 3 years and it’s been modded for two years and I haven’t had any problems with the car it’s all been regular maintenance so far
@@DiamondTribe lol no its not.
Well technically… BMW holds up better BMW was #2 or #3 in reliability in 2022 im sure infiniti was no where near there. As per costs id assume you’d save more on a BMW because of its recent improvements in reliability. However both brands are luxury brands so you’d expect to pay a pricey penny
Seriously thanks for this, I think it's weird no one has thought about comparing the performance on these two cars since the z launched, I feel people who shop for the z also consider the q60
Better consider the 60 quick....they are no longer going to be making them.
@@thinkfast469 nah dont worry, never buy a new one get used. I work at Infiniti and they are too much brand new. I got my preowned one for a bargain and love that damn thing
@@thinkfast469why would they pick a q over a true sports car Z ?
@@Midnightvq Well...although our pursuits and passions may be similar, we're not all 25. 😉 Gotta still be a little civil, as an arriver.
From all of us that drive the grocery gitters...if we can burn it down, it's not a true sports car. 🤙
✌️
@@Midnightvq looks 10 times better and has AWD, for starters. Unfortunately for nissan the Supra destroys the Z, sales have been slow
Awesome video! I was really looking forward to this one.
Ok, got the jump on the Z. That's about it though. AWD vs RWD advantage from a standstill but weight and more gears shines through on the roll. That dead-to-rights first roll in auto shift, ya...you can physically see the Q60 slow down. Always fun racing with you Sam. Thanks again for letting me be a part of this! BTW for those wondering and for clarity. Heat exchanger and intakes from Burger Motorsports (the same company that makes the JB4) and 3" non resonated lower down pipes and 3" CBE from AAM Competition, known for their aftermarket support of the GTR.
Beautiful Q60, love that slate grey! I have a white one but wish I got that color instead lol
You do know that you went from a factory true cold air intake, to a hot air intake, right? They even tested a bunch of aftermarket intakes for the Q50/60. All the one's they tested actually made the car loose power and torque. AMS was the only one to improve, over the factory intakes and that was in the top end. I just put the BMS inlets on my Q50RS, as the improvement of the air flow, over the ribbed tubing, is where the increase is being made.
@@SnakeDoctor5104 Fully aware, I wanted to get more intake noises though. That was achieved. I'll likely change it up if and when I tune. For now, the intake noise with the AAM chaos out back is tremendous. Keep in mind, its only hot and humid for 4 of the 12 months of the year where I am, so "hot intake" is mitigated by generally cooler outside air.
@@SnakeDoctor5104 the bms ones were fine, when i had them. Best setup tested is the full bms inlet with the k ans n drop ins and factory boxes but the "heat" from the bms didnr makw a huge difference for everyday spirited driving and they sounded super good. I could see if you wanna squeeze out every inch of power possible but the real caveat is that shitbox 7speed, anyway.
I'm not sure if I missed it, but in all of the races, I didn't see any paddle shifting by the q60.. was he in auto mode for all of the races? Just seems a but sluggish.
I own an ra500 q60 and I gotta be honest.. seeing how well the rs did to against the new z made me kinda sad. Was hoping for more from the z. Can't wait to see the z with more upgrades.
I mean same power in a slightly lighter package with a bit better transmission.
Makes total sense the Z would only be a bit faster, as you know the VR30 isn’t a slouch even in stock form.
Q got smoked from a roll where the power counts
I respect the number of tries to get a clean race ,, appreciate the effort ❤
More SPA V60 T6 content! This time with the Polestar Optimization 🤟
Why the q60 driver shift sooo badly in the last part of the 3rd roll race? He's a truck driver in everyday life?😂
I was thinking the same thing looked staged
Both beautiful cars! Q60 RS from a dig✅, Z from a roll✅
Why is the Infiniti driver shifting so early? 🤔
Looks like the race should be much closer.
I was reading the comments and I was thinking the same thing.
So glad I got the Q over the Z!!
I would rather take the q60s
Was a little surprised the 500 pound offset didn't seem to make a difference from 0. All wheels matter
We all can agree. When you buy the new Z, first thing is Tire’s you must get better tire’s. Then second is suspension. Cause with better tire’s the Z is definitely a scary car off the dig
need more m340i content, especially tuned ever so slightly
M240i/ 340i content yes please 🙏!
OK for anyone who drives Infiniti you knew it would lose the roll why? Because Infiniti drivers no Infinitis have a slight lag when you mash the gas after being at an consistent speed. Now had he let go and then mashed the gas it would've been closer. Basically treat it like a manual. I my self am an Infiniti owner. I figured this out from test driving multiple models. Never the less I love Infiniti they get moving once they get going for a luxury car
And I was speaking from automatic roll racing. My point was proving when he did it in manual mode
I mean we all knew it would loose the roll because they both have the same engine and the Z weighs 500lbs less…
The faster shifting transmission and slightly more responsive turbo don’t hurt but they are just a small part of the story.
Infiniti and Nissan is slacking with transmissions
A Q60 with the Z's 6 speed would be legendary.
dude in the Q60 on the manual rolls is shifting super early why?
Keenly interested in this. I've done enough of these that if it over revs it bogs down and the car will shift automatically. Are you expecting a wildly different result. Gimme the break down of perfect rpm shift points so I can drag as much power out of this thing.
Because the transmission has a bit of delay between shifts so you need to do it earlier to shift on time. It's annoying at first but not thay big of a deal
@@gotworcoh must just be a getting use to thing, cuz i shift my q50 right before redline and its just fine
@@jimwallace4579tbh the last roll would of been much closer if the Q60 was being shifted at redline, but either way Z should still be faster because its lighter and better trans🤷🏽♂️
Dude in the q60 kept shifting early Asf obviously the Z will be faster cause it’s lighter but dude In the q needs to learn when to actually shift plus this race would have been better if it was a rwd q50 which is just over 3700
He can't, the Q engine will bog down if he red lines it. Basically forces you to upshift as it hits red line.
@@Reobtained you can hear it big down every shift due to short shifting and not bringing it to redline...not rev limiter, but redline.
Comparing a Awd Vr30 vs rwd is so weird. The curb weight difference matters
The Infiniti driver literally let you win, he don’t know how to drive and he was early shifting
😁 love my Q but that Z in that color looks great. im just happy they aint no E b.s n went vr in the z
REVENGE!! 😂😂😅!! Love this 😂
If the transmission was updated on Q it would be a beast. I want to buy a 2020 Q60rs but may just go 440i M instead with a stage1 if anything
more gears doesnt mean more faster. you really have no idea what youre talking about.
the 7AT in the Q50/60 isnt significantly stronger than the turd thats in the older Zs and ghetto fabulous G35/37 cars. in fact, those kids swap out their transmissions for the Q50/50 versions because theyre beefed up.
@@OxBlitzkriegxO you do realise updating transmission doesn't mean adding more gears right. I had g35 and q50, they have not ideal transmissions.
@@Landon1688 whats not ideal about the 7AT in the Q50? please tell me, as my Q50 seems to shift exactly as fast and as hard as it needs to. its this ignorant ass thinking that perpetuates stereotypes that simply dont exist.
the problem is that there are a lot of people driving around in the ghetto fabulous G35/37s from a long time and who think the transmission sucks, because it sort of did. the torque converter tended to fall part and the valvebody died early.
the Q50 7AT doesnt have any of those problerms. zip, zilch. it has a larger, thicker converter and a different valvebody along with extra clutches that arent there in the cars that poors drive. shift times are significantly faster than people think as long as youre not in standard mode.
a lot of Q50/60 owners get in to the platform as cheap as possible, so they get all the base model turds but trash suspension, little brakes, and no way to adjust the suspension. the sport and red sport are WORLDS above the base model sh*t boxes.
im not here to tell you the 7AT is the best transmission ever, thats silly. im saying that its FAR better than what the reddit trash and ghetto fabulous street takeover garbage people lead you to believe. they know nothing except how to run their mouth and run in to curbs. look on tiktok for proof
stupid tires on a 400hp car
The driver of the Q60 loves the gear before he does not take full torque, and his shifts are very clear, which made the Z excel in the end
Nissan Z and BMW m240i in Canada cost the exact same. Used to have a new 370z. But bmw is seen in my near future, c43amg coupe is just too expensive. Lexus coupe would have been nice but it's too expensive and slow as hell
I finally got to sit in a 2024 Z and it was very nice, but I wouldn't get one because there's better choices out there for the price.
Great Q60s
Ill take the awd. Probably has a better quarter mile time
WOW, literally AWD vs RWD & Automatic vs Manual. This was so close, even though both are brother cars. IMO, the Q60 is closer to being a "mini GT-R" because it is AWD.
Hey Sam, can you advise where this track is located at? Is this a private track?
guy in the q50 was granny shifting 🙃
Put Michelin sport 4s tires on the z would have launched much better
missing AWD, that is the q60's advantage on a dig...
@@tomr3319 I have a q60 redsport rwd with ps4s tires and I beat my friends q50 awd jb4 in a dig and roll race
@@iwatchfamilyguy Cool, is your our friend's AWD a red sport or regular 300HP 3.0 TT?
@@tomr3319 it’s the silver sport with 300 hp 3.0t but he has jb4 and was on map 3
Q60 has night and dat better looks exterior and interior hands down. Just put the 9speed auto in the Q60!
The Z sounds great 👍🏾
"The car has an exhaust. But it has an intake as well"
Me: 🤦♂️🤦♂️
9 speed Transmission swap for the Q60 hmm. There's a Z Nismo coming soon tho
The transmission in the INFINITI was its downfall. It was positively awful. Even the Kia Stinger has a better transmission than the INFINITI.
JATCO 7at very strong, kia stinger transmission can't withstand such heavy loads as in infiniti. after tune, this trans shifting like a DCT
I honestly really like the 7 speed, very responsive and quick, pretty imperceptible shifts too. The bad part is that the gears are so extremely long 3-5
@@UNIQUEMEN100 just wait until the actual transmission tune becomes available. After being tuned, it’s a hell of a lot better in terms of shifting & response, but there is a lot more to be had w/ a TCM tune!
@@bpearr8266 true, gotta let them rev out till redline to keep the next gear in the powerband. That’s usually the trick w/ this transmission, but really wish we had a transmission tune available now. It’s coming though, thankfully!
@@UNIQUEMEN100 the jatco in the VR30 is stronger than the one in the 3.7's, but it's not stronger than the Genesis/Kia version (maybe similar); it does however has clunkier shifts (I've owned both)
Weird how Nissan used 2 different autos. Gearing is playing a big part here.
interesting race but it was apples and oranges I'm afraid. You're racing a sports car vs a luxery sports coupe with rear seats that's bigger and much heavier. The AWD system and many other luxury components add weight. I've seen properly tune RS' with bigger turbos, transmission coolers, bigger intakes and better radiators that have over 650 HP that will blow that little Z out of the water. Mind you there's nothing stopping people with the Z to do the same thing....without voiding the warranty. If that track had a bit of moisture on there your Z would be toast. Nice video though and as usual, I enjoy watching your races.
Comparing apples to oranges is fun. It's the kind of matchups that happens at the drags, track or auto-x course.
Q60 needs transmission swap support
Hopefully TCM Tune coming soon!
Maybe the Z will win against a Scion TC! Maybe though.........
hang on, how are they listed at the same power when the Q60s has mods? The intake and exhaust with even the most conservative of tunes would be and extra 20-25 horsepower, surely?
Intake provides no power gains, only installed it for intake noises to make the drive more fun to listen to. No tune. The AAM LDP and CBE does increase HP, but its marginal at best. The XE doesn't add power, merely keeps things running cool.
Surprised that Infinity doesn't have a luxury super car like the NSX... interesting race. The Z probably has a higher rpm range which gave it the advantage on the roll race.
I'll take the red sport!
Been waiting for this one🔥
that’s not fair the q was AWD
There's no such thing as a RWD Q50/60RS in Canada so unless you want to bring one from USA here to make a fair race, they have to take whatever cars that exists where they live 🤷♂️
I feel like Nissan really dropped the ball on the new Z. Sub par performance when in the price point there are so much better cars.
Style over performance. If i get beat by a stick of butter so be it. At least the eyes were on me! Z stlye for the win!
Q looks way better though...
Owner of the Q said he had boltons (heat exchanger, intake, Downpipes)
I love the Infinitis... Loved my G37x. I sold Nissans... Never sold a 370z...pretty but low sales volume.
Perfect matchup
Exterior: Q60
Interior: Z
This Z is disappointing. I hope they come out with a 500 hp Nismo
Downpipe and tune
@@DigitalRecollections yes. That will do it. But I worried about insurance 🙂
Great video. Thanks for bringing us such great content. However, it just needs to be said that the new Z is just pathetic because it just spins too much. That car is SO MUCH lighter and yet it just can’t do anything from a dig at all. It makes a good drifting car but not much else from a dig.
Runs 12.3@117 from a dig
10.50s@128 fbo e85
9.80s@135 with drop ins
You have no clue lol
Nothing a lil suspension mods can't fix 😁
please ive been asking for a while can you guys put the redsport up against a kia stinger
I was expecting the Z to at least hook, this sucks. was supposed to take the Vr30 to the next level
well AWD is hard to compete with.
It’s cuz he can’t drive😭
You can judge from the results. For Standing starts, it is utmost importance for the torque be delivered to the tarmac effectively. However, in comparison, tyre traction is less significant for rolling start, therefore Z is able to beats Q.
The author rightly pointed out, AWD definitely played important role and the mitigation is better tyres.
Nice race but not what people want to see , people want to see the Z vs the M340 b58 engine. The rest is all secondary
Z gonna lose that race everytime lol everyone knows this
I haven’t seen the new Z beat anything yet, on anybody’s channel🤦🏾♂️
I think that one came down to the weight
Woot woot lets gooo Nissan 😅 even though the infinity was kicking ass at first 😅they are both still very awesome and very beautiful cars. 😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wish the q60 was completely stock
Gains on a turbo car for those mods are quite high. Therefor this race is void without the same mods on the Z
Hi mate can you do a video on the Mercedes w204 2.1L twin turbo diesel 2014 model please 🙏
The Z was the biggest let down in sports car history
Period
why didnt they go manual on the Q60?
Infiniti has larger exhaust tips and is therefore the clear winner.
Why not have a g timer so we can compare thus to dealer claims. 0-60,60-130 etc
