Did you ever get the chance to mod the Q60 or get the red sport trim?

Prior to my Camaro I owned a G35 so I wanted to start within the brand and cross shopped it with a Q60. At the time (3 years ago) the Q60 just came out so there was no good deals for me to snag. I eventually made peace with it and realized the Camaro is all-around better from a performance aspect in stock form.

Never looked back at it since then. But I am still in some Infiniti groups for shits (Brother owns a G37) and it seems like everyone with a tuned Q60 call it a V8 killer / mini GTR Asides from that one guy in Hawaii, I didn't really see any proper match ups against a 6th gen mod for mod. Most of the time I see Q60 folks with mods and apparently other cars are not allowed to be modded.

Anyways, I guess I'm saying I'm surprised you switched over considering the amount of Q60 owners who say it's every little bit better than the domestic competition.

In my experience, Nissan/Infiniti folks are a weird bunch.

And the Honda10 speed auto vs the GM 8 speed auto is no comparison IMO. That 10 speed is better in every way over the 8 speed in my RS. While the handling at the absolute limit might be slightly better in my RS V6, around public streets and general roads they are very similar. Personally, the Accord is not for me, but overall I'm quite impressed with it for what it is.

I agree that new Acura looks very interesting for sure.

Matthew has an 18, AKA first model year of 10th Gen. Those issues sound like first model year woes.

And yeah Honda inline 4 actually sound decent if you don't fit a fart can on them.

No, I didn't mod it because I was leasing it. It was the Q60 Premium model as the Red Sport wasn't released yet. I went from the Lexus RC350 F-Sport to the Infiniti. Both were nice cars and although the Infiniti engine was smaller, it seemed like it was faster due to the twin turbos. I liked the Q60 so much that I considered buying it when the lease was up but the residual value was about 6K higher than the value of the car and Infiniti Finance wouldn't budge. I also loved that both of these were AWD and I could drive them year round here in Northeast Ohio.

I drove several different makes/models when shopping for my next car. Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Ford Mustang GT with GT Performance Package, and my Camaro SS. I can't speak to a modded Q60 but my Camaro SS would blow the stock Q60 Premium away. What sold me on my Camaro SS was the smile she put on my face when I drove her. And, being a 2SS, she has all of the options that I'm use to having.

I've owned the Camaro SS for just over a year now and I have zero regrets thus far.

Yeah maybe the 18's had some first year issues IDK, but my girls 19 has been great so far. As far as sound, I can't think of any 4 banger that actually sounds "good" to me (off the top of my head at least) but this Accord is one of the better sounding ones if that makes sense. I agree the fart can exhausts just make these things obnoxious lol. I know a guy with a newer Ecoboost Mustang that has a Roush axle back, and even with that I just don't like it. Definitely louder but the tone is just wrong lol

I had jettas civics accords corolla but they were all stock and for daily driving.

Yea, 7 years of GTRs which are great cars

My "fun" car path

1979 Omega -> 1984 Firebird -> 2004 SRT-4 -> 2008 Challenger RT -> 2019 ZL1 1LE -> 2020 C8 Corvette -> 2019 ZL1 1LE

That's right I chose my 1LE over the C8! Lost the Challenger to my EX, sold the C8!


It's troublesome your wife won't "let you" get whatever car you want. If it's in the budget, and seats the entire family, that's all that matters. That said you'll love the Camaro.

Yes, they are! The GTR has been on my list "to own" for quite some time..still waiting for the day. Great car to drive though. It is one that almost fools the driver when driven conservatively (boring), but unleashes a beast when you want to play

[Orangeman13]

I came from a Lexus RC 350 F-Sport

I am having SOOOOOO much more fun with my Camaro 2SS!

I know this is an old post but I have a Q50 Red Sport as a daily and with some simple bolt ons and a tune people are running low 11s high 10s with them. They seem to be about maxed out there with the small stock turbos but it doesn't take much to make them pretty quick and able to take aout most V8s on the road.

I'm liking it so far. The color, getting back in a 6 speed, and the growl of a V8 is what pushed me to get one.
