As a 2016 SS owner those Q50 red sports are no joke! My car is a manual with cai, 2" long tubes and 3" catted mid-pipes. Tuned it puts down right at 400 to the wheel. Lined up with one of those and we ran from about 10ish to around 70ish and they were right with me the entire way. It didn't surprise me that the Q50 did so well in this vid. Especially against the auto SS. And even though the SS is getting to be slower than a lot of these new TT V6 cars, I really don't care because it sounds AMAZING and there is no V6 made that can compete.

The SS is a better drivers car. The Infiniti a better daily driver. AWD spoils you. As a Q50 RS owner, it has been very reliable, runs 12s consistently at 110mph in normal conditions and 28mpg at 80mph with a 20 gallon gas tank is very efficient and convenient.

[@ms3er396]

Loved my RedSport 400. Pop a simple piggy back JB4 on it and it REALLY wakes up around town and down low. Will spank the quarter mile in low to mid 12's at 114-115mph. Transmission is a dog around town under normal driving but that's expected. At WOT however, it performs very well and shifts quickly. Pop on the sport exhaust for $500 and it really sounds great. Combined with the JB4 it will scream up front as it pulls in more air and out back with a very subtle G-like tone. Just be sure to go into the hidden menu and turn off the fake sound generator so there's no drone.

[@heavensg8597]

The lack of depreciation on an SS coupled in with ease of maintenance and versatile platform make these car still superior to just about anything on the market even so 5 years later. The new TT platforms by BMW and Nissan are great don’t get me wrong, it’s just very hard to take anything away from something so proven as an LS in a Holden Chassis.

[@AltimaKaT]

So there's quite some things to mention that go unnoticed about the Q50... it was easily noticed by a Q50 enthussiast, but the average owner who just pumps gas and gets oil changes would not know. The base Q50 and Silver S Q50 is the 300hp model. The Red S 3.0t is the 400hp model. But there is more to this other than just power output. The redsport has more cooling mods in stock form than the regular 3.0. BUT it is inadequate for the racing performed in this video. Why? Well all of the Q50's are water cooled intercoolers. The front heat exchanger is literally good for about 1 quarter mile hit. Then, it will require about 3 to 5 miles of 55mph driving to bring Charge Air Temps back down to acceptable levels where the car will not pull timing. This is where having an upgraded heat exchanger helps. But still they are inadequate for back to back pulls. With a upgraded heat exchanger the temps take just a little bit longer to heat soak. Also, please keep in mind the Chevy SS is modified. Memory serves me right, the owner had it modified prior to coming back from where he was stationed while in the armed forces (much respect to that). If the Q50 was even slight modified (heat exchanger, lower downpipe, tune and a flexfuel kit on e30) (less than $2,800) It would easily trap mid to high 11's from 118mph up to 120mph. Was nice to see this video and I hope my comment helps yield some more knowledge.

[@holdenls1ssz]

The Infiniti also has twin turbos and a more modern transmission. It did good but its pushing the limit for its capacity compared to the ls3 which even with the mods you mentioned, still has a lot more to give even without boost.

The mighty nissan, the skyline, infinity what ever you want to call it. They are a great bang for ya buck. I got an 07 skyline 350 gt apart from high flow airfilters and a tune the thing is bone stock.. It goes like crazy never fails to amaze me when I plant my foot. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇳🇿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁

Great race!!! (minus the guy sleeping on the line for the one)

Yes - cost me that race. Makes for good KZbin commenter talking points though!

Thanks for the great matchup!

[@HanabiiiUwU]

The stock Infiniti turbos seem to die off on the top end, and they need a lot of cooling upgrades to keep the numbers up. Great cars nonetheless. They really wake up with a tune.

[@VictorHernandez-ji9mu]

Nah, its the transmission.

what turbo or mods do you recommended to keep things from messing up hahaha

Looks like the ss was ahead on the roll but didn’t go WOT at the same time as the q50 and instead waited till the q50 caught up and then gassed it so he wouldn’t get such a huge jump

[@Blue-moon12]

Poor driving reaction times today I must say. Late reaction on the last drag and rolling race the SS was ahead of the RS before the line to go

[@jimwallace4164]

Yes, I looked at my dash when the flag man dropped his arms. That lack of attention cost me big. I wanted to be in a lower gear during the roll to stay in the powerband, had I accelerated to catch up - the transmission would have upshifted and game over. Hope this context helps mate!

What about SRT 392/Scatpack Charger vs this Chevy SS? How would that go based on experience?

The scatpack typically takes it every time

[@temur72]

@@jimwallace4164 I meant to say the SS is a badge engineered version of the Holden Commodore. The SS was built in Australia by Holden based on the Commodore with minor changes for the US market

[@lexman8678]

Those Holden's used to get smoked all the time by my old is350 2006 Lexus was funny seeing them lose something is wrong with that redsport lol

[@garys2157]

@@lexman8678 I would say something was wrong with "those Holdens", unless they didn't know they were racing, as they should be around half a second faster to 60 than a 350, now a Isf 500 should have a slight edge.

[@nathanaelcole8466]

If you are getting into this world of rare cars, find you a CTS V-Sport and do some races. That is what I have and there is some tuning potential there with the 3.6 TT. We just had the first one in the 10's a couple weeks ago, and a 93 octane tune can get you in the high 11's with no real mods needed. I have always considered the SS and the V-Sport to be rare unappreciated cousins. Both fantastic cars that GM failed to sell (surprise surpise)

[@bmshaven]

cts vsport is a hidden gem and stock, is extraordinarily potent.

[@jamesdyer3507]

Great review! Can you do a review on the Cadillac CTS V-Sport. 2014-19 3.6t. I would love to see what’s your impression.

[@pvp_king6025]

You should do the Chevy Ss vs 2012-14 Chrysler 300 srt8

[@Vanjrl337]

Man that SS sounds awesome.

[@nickorzel6633]

I have a genesis g70 3.3Twin turbo awd stock. My cousin has the q50rs awd. It keeps up and I only get him by about 2 cars on a dig to the quarter. Love the infinity though. I had an m37x and it was the best car I ever owned. Not as fast as my genesis but still was quick as hell and never had a better riding car! Always wanted the m56x awd with the 5.6 v8 but not many out there especially in great shape. Engines are bullet proof!

[@modiddly1663]

I’m sure the 10 speed or 8 speed can be put on the ss right?

[@alphaares6027]

Finally I've been waiting for this video for more than two months already lol 😂 Chevy SS FTW!!!☝️🤙🤙🌬️

[@ron2366]

Not really out of 4 races SS only won 2 races and Q50 in sport plus mode the driver messed up badly

[@OhThatsJayy818]

Nah q50 red sport 400 all day 🔥🔥🔥 #VQGang

[@jesseyanvari8873]

The Infiniti was more impressive, less HP, almost as heavy and won 2 races and one in the roll and started behind him in that as well. If he wasnt sleeping, he'd probably have every race.

Can you please do a race between the current Honda Accord 2.0 turbo version vs the older V6 3.5 (2017 model)? Thank you for these great videos,👍👍👍

[@alexgriffin4379]

That is true especially in a v8 muscle car I remember my 1999 ford mustang gt 35th anniversary with engine mods and straight pipe cats delete and some other mods it beat and full bolt ons tune header B20v vtec Acura Integra and I gave him the go but I won by like 5 cars but with control of muscle cars are fast

[@robsnow2099]

These Infiniti RS were steals before the chip shortage etc. You could go get a 2016 and it looked exactly like the 2022, minus the steering wheel and lights.

[@carloso5599]

The Q50 VR30 heat soaks pretty easily with the stock HX. Wonder if they let it cool before each pull.
