Guys , I also want to like the new q60 but at least give me valid arguments.

Yes still Camaro ss is lighter and that's what I care. Godzilla also has 2 less cylinders but makes great power so this is not a valid point.

Again that catfish is almost certainly 100+lbs lighter then the infiniti with 3lt engine , that is what matters.

A loaded Camaro ss with magnetic ride is around 48K hence it will probably be 5-10K cheaper ?

Well I also prefer infiniti interior but I have seen the new camaro interior and it is comparable (infiniti is slightly better)!!!

I agree with you on the points of the refinement and uncommon-ness. But the original comment was about the car's power. And that point alone (375whp), isn't too impressive these days.

So cars you can buy new, that are about the same or less in cost, with 400hp+ is pretty small.
Corvette
Camaro SS
Mustang GT
Charger SRT
Challenger SRT
Chevy SS
Kia K900
Hyundai Genesis sedan

Yes, there are more expensive cars like Vipers, M3/4, Audi S/RS series, etc...But below $50K, that's all there is. Unless you buy used.

If you all want to compare to other vehicles post in off topic other comparisons. This is not the thread. Thanks.

I'm with Infinitifreak.
Aside from the fact that this is perhaps one of the more ridiculous comparisons I have ever seen-completely different class of car that will rarely if ever be cross-shopped by someone who knows what they are looking for- at least do it in another thread.

Q60 Final Teaser - Revealed in Detroit

I thought 400 HP out of a 3 liter v6 was impressive but it must only be to me....

Anyways I think I will get to drive one end of jun/ early July. Hopefully red sport.

... not when it has 2 turbos.

i get that out of my 2.0L 4-cylinder single turbo with just an "off-the-shelf" map.

should be a beast with a flash, assuming they don't use tiny turbos ...

It is pretty impressive considering this is the starting point. This engine is easily tunable to 600hp. They have to leave room for the future as it would make no sense to max it out in the first year. Getting all that and a factory warranty is pretty nice!

I can't wait to test drive one of these beast!

Still no word on pricing? What's taking so long...isn't it supposed to be arriving to dealers in the next few months?

Yeah but that doesn't comet with an EPA certification and a warranty.

Curious what car you're referring to.

Pricing for the coupe hasn't been released. I built a Q50 Red Sport the way I am going to option out my Q60 and just added $2,500 to that price. That should be pretty close to what the coupe I get will cost.
