So the verdict is in. After a few separate races - the Q50 stood no chance from a roll at 50+. Wouldn’t put my money on taking him from the hole by any chance and also don’t want to dump my clutch or eat up my tires for it to find out.Did this guy crash and die trying to do this race or something? Btw I voted the Si back when the thread was new..

Sorry for the super late post guys. I’m still here lol
I've driven a gtr r35 and own a q50; there is no comparison. The two cars are nothing alike. The q50 is a an entry level luxury sedan, its steering is numb, it has a responsive engine with great power. But by no means is comparing a q50 and r35 remotely similar.Heck no dude a q50 will smoke the si I raced a q50 the base model, that thing stayed in front and I have bolt ons and tsp stage 1 tune ....
PS: a q50 is pretty much like a gtr r35 just with a smaller motor
Edit: sorry man didn't know it was a 2014 but still probably not enough
They would beat a reflashed Si from a dig easily, but different story from a roll.A stock q50/q60 only trap in 101-103 MPH range. I'd imagine they would beat a re-flashed SI, but calling them GTR like seems like a stretch.
Having said that, the red sports are much faster than the base models. Is that what some of you are thinking of?
Based on what, specifically? The one guys post above ours?They would beat a reflashed Si from a dig easily, but different story from a roll.
Power/weight ratio and FWD vs AWDBased on what, specifically? The one guys post above ours?
This is 100% on point to what I experienced. I raced my friend's Q50 Sport - not Red Sport. He also has a ghetto-rigged straight pipe (cat rusted - replaced w/ straight pipe) but stock muffler. Don't think it makes much of a difference but sounds like a beast! Again, from a roll on the highway w/ my 21.5 PSI Ktuner Tune (w/ aggressive spool, etc...) and no other perf mods on my end - this was a cake walk.Finaly raced vs q50 2015 with exhaust mods ( v6 3.7) on the highway and I was pulling more than him ( I'm ktuner 21.5 psi ) .. he maybe pass me 0-60 because awd ... Remember q50 2016+ red sport you need more than 21.5 to go get the red sport from a pull on highway . I figure it out ... My father have a red sport and I think 25 psi minimun will be good to get those 400hp.... with this setup I pulled on the highway vs my friend his audi s4 2015 stage 1+ and he had like 2 car away from me ... well this little 1.5t tuned with low weight its pretty surprising.
I raced a Q50 from a 50 roll and only TSP Stg 1 and I pulles him by like 2 cars... so, driver mod?Heck no dude a q50 will smoke the si I raced a q50 the base model, that thing stayed in front and I have bolt ons and tsp stage 1 tune ....

Probably the q50 wasn't trying but I'm talking about the 3.0t not the vq35I raced a Q50 from a 50 roll and only TSP Stg 1 and I pulles him by like 2 cars... so, driver mod?
