My buddie's 2015 5.0 manual premium got beat by a q50 hybrid yesterday. They went from 0-85 and he was ahead by one car. He paid 40k out the door for the q50, my friend was embarrassed but it was great that his 5.0 got beat by a hybrid that averages 31 in the city lol, I thought he was just a crappy driver but comes to find out these things do 0-60 in 4.9.

I have a friend at works that has the regular q50 and he swears he has beat several 5.0s. I'm just going to have to see it to believe it.

Those are slower than the hybrid which is bizarre to me, I've messed around with a normal q50 since my brother had one as a rental and they're quick for sure but he couldn't beat my modded EB.

I am seeing the Q50 hybrids hit 60 in 5.2 seconds. Not that big of difference from 4.9 but maybe your buddy should be a better driver :)

At least your buddy isn't driving a fancy Datsun sedan. After helping a few friends w/ their newer Infinitis and Nissans w/ diagnosing some of the electronics and fighting w/ the dealership and manufacturers to warranty them...which were denied btw, you couldn't give me one...especially a hybrid.

A quick search shows the Q50 hybrid running a 13.8@104 which is more in line with a stock ecoboost....

Learn how to drive.

A Q50 is a different class car. The mustang doesn't compare in interior or luxury to this car. Performance, the q50 is refined, and a great competitor, while the mustang is v8 muscle. In a drag race with a good driver a q50 will get beat by a 5.0, at least by a car. Then again, a q50 is not a drag car, it's a luxury performance sedan.

A turbo 4 banger modded EB will beat a q50 as well, but let's get down to apples to apples. A v6 mustang cannot touch a v6 q50, no if and or buts about it. Take a car for what it is, 5.0 is a cheap American car for what you get, raw power, mediocre quality and easy parts. A q50, although is has its share of issues, doesn't have mediocre parts/quality, and parts are a bit more expensive due to "luxury".

Smoked a modded Q50S a few months back when I just had exhaust/tune done. That was a fast car, but it's got a long way to go against a Coyote.

I love my electric motors, but there's no excuse for that loss.

I bet If I gave your buddy a Z06 he would still lose....

Just because you bought a GT....Z06..GTR...Lambo. Doesn't mean you know HOW to drive.
