@@SamCarLegion so that’s options and all, you’re talking about. With being in my original comment, that with all options you’re getting a ton more goodies in the Mercedes. And if we skipped all the options and just bought the Mercedes base, you’d get better performance, and still better features for far less than the $35k difference you speak of. You should work on your delivery and where you get your info from. Good day to all! Edit: one other thing that might help you understand. The first comment in the video made about the $35k difference was by the Infiniti driver, stating, “for $35k more, it better be faster than this thing”. The Mercedes doesn’t need all the extra options, it’s still faster as a base c43 AMG.

The INFINITI was a decent car back in 2016. I had a 2016 Q50 back then and it was a nice ride and looked good. However, the 2023 Q50 is almost identical to the car they sold 7 years ago.

The infinity reliability sucks almost as hard as the decade old automatic transmission. Just got over my decade long Japanese car phase. The 3 Acuras and a Lexus I owned were worse than any of my previous Audis by a long margin in terms of reliability, and a significant decline in driving quality. Two of the acuras needed transmissions becaue Acura/Honda still never figured out Automatic transmissions, much like Nissans CVTs, and the Lexus ended up with differential issues and a wiring diester at 65K miles no dealer was able to solve. My 2011 Audi A4 was nicer driving than all of them, with a higher quality interior, and my new B9.5 S4 feels like a space ship compared to them.

​@@Eugen-E You're switching from sports cars (and these aren't even sports cars, these are sport sedans) to race cars. If you want to get into pro racing and buy pro race cars and drive on race tracks competitively, then that might be a different discussion. The fact that some race car is really good doesn't make the Q50 or TLX Type S faster than their nearest German equivalents. The Japanese could win every pro race in the world every single time and it wouldn't lower the weight or increase the horsepower of any of their production cars. Your basic claim is still demonstrably false. It's not as simple as "Infiniti just has to get rid of that 7 speed and use the 9speed." Infiniti (in this case under the brand Nissan) did do that and they still got easily destroyed by its most direct competitor in every way. I take this harder than most. I'm a diehard Japanese car enthusiast and drive Japanese. I'm just also in touch with reality. These aren't the best days to be a Japanese performance enthusiast. It's not all dark, the CTR and ITS are doing well. The GT-R somehow manages to stay competitive despite being ancient.

I like the "no launch control" races. It's a better surrogate for what happens in a real-world, red light scenario. In that context, some cars perform relatively better (eg. Q50 Redsport, TLX Type S), while others perform worse (eg. Audi S5 Sportback).

Whatever Infiniti needed to do to make the Q50/60/RS competitive should have been done with the 2018 refresh i.e. new/heavily updated transmission and interior. I (just as others I'm sure) really want to like this brand and for them to succeed, but it just goes to show the sad state of where they are, and the result of the bad decisions that kept piling on. Their focus now seems to be on SUV's whereas not too long ago, we kept getting some very enticing design concepts and possible higher performance models that amounted to nothing. Like I said before, what they need is a new product onslaught that will bring back the wow factor and generate increased interest in the brand because one new model or redesign every 2 to 3 years (QX60 and QX80) just isn't cutting it. Besides, not everyone wants an SUV.

Hey Sam. Always a big fan of your contents. Not many ppl do drag races on a daily basis anymore let alone in Canada. However it’d be nicer to see the video production to be more consistent. Sometimes the video production is very cinematic and has top notch quality, but sometimes the videos looked like they’re kind of a last minute upload and the information about the cars involved in the race was slapped onto the screen like that and often times there’s mistakes (just some small things). For us enthusiasts that know about cars it’s no big deal seeing partial information being presented incorrectly but for some who’s not familiar with the car it’d be misleading. Again, love the contents, still a big fan of yours. Just some personal opinions for your future posts 🫡

Lmao literally, you'd have a low 9 second to high 8 second car in the quarter mile if you know how to get the right mods and right tuner, prob 0-60 in 2 seconds damn near flat, cause I already seen 2.2-2.3

put new AMS turbos in vr30, and take 617 whp on 93 @@user-yk5eg8qf5k

The Q is more luxury than power. My 2011 ISF will teach the MB a lesson.

Stop featuring the q50 on the channel bro we already know it loses to almost everything can we replace this with the type s or lexus 500?

You didn’t do nothing wrong!!! I had a 18 Q50RS, now I have a 23 x3M40i and I love it! It’s super quick. 4.1 0-60 for a heavy suv , it’s beautiful, tons of tech. My next one will be a M3 gang gang

Gearing and weight

The q has a really garbage transmission. It can’t keep up with the engine

Q sounds better that’s about it

Remember it’s a tuner car it’s going lose stock

Spend like 10 grand on after market and I bet you smoke that amg and look better doing it

Some of you all in the comments are STILL trying to justify a 9 year old car. The q50 is just that…. OLD w. An Old tranny old interior etc. I use to have a 2014 q50 hybrid brand new when it debuted in 2013 , and then I had a 18 Q50RS. I loved it at that time but I didn’t see no growth in the company so I got a BMW and never looked back. I currently have a 23 x3M and I love it everyday. Infiniti sucks as a brand and I’m sure I am not the only one who thinks this. Back in the day Infiniti had it going on. The vr30 is a great eng , but fails with that weak tranny. The tech is horrible. Infiniti lacks innovation for me!

You can make the vr30 ‘s way faster tho for like 4K

There seems to be opposite results in real life.

30k more? Thats why there srill a market foe the Q50. 7AT is terrible, but better than the previous VQ generation (it was beefed up a bit). Quick shifting on that Merc. Open Differential on the q50 😂 Terrible at putting power down. 4 cylinder AMG is still hilarious!!!😅

He's wrong.

Infiniti is a joke

They just look like 2 Honda Civics...

Love it

Put a tuned 3.7 VQ different story...

So Jim went from a Q50 to a Q60 and then back to a Q50, all with the same engine?

​@@jimwallace4164 Would you happen to know what fuel type the q50 in the video was running on? I own a q50rs and notice a considerable difference in pick up when using ultra 94. I am almost certain the press car in this drag race is not at its full potential. Would love to see the same race after the q cycled through 2 full tanks of 94 octane gas.

Ion wanna here nun abt who buyin infinti in 2023/2024 i got an infinti q50s wit 650 hp ion wanna here it dat benz is slow 😂😂

So just modify the Q50 to 850 hp... the Merc is a AMG... already.

Infiniti stock good time😊. My volvo 2003 stock ecu, manual 6 speed 1/4 mile 12.9..😂😂😂

If you are paying for an AMG, it better be a 6 or and 8 cyl.
