Why no comparison with Lexus IS or Infiniti Q50?

In this particular test the sport touring got 1.01g

Infiniti G vs Nissan 370Z

I was using direct comparison for the two on the exact same skid pad. Using other side numbers is irrelevant as it's not apples to apples.

Here's an PDK macan vs a MANUAL 370z.
The manual Z gets to 60 in 4.9. An auto Z gets to 60 in .3 seconds faster which equals 4.6. The same time as the Macan. So with transmission being equal it's a drivers race and the Z out handles the Macan by a HUGE MARGIN!

You realize rev data scrapes from manufactures given information right? So, congrats, you're looking at listed numbers and not actual test data. And test results go to show it doesn't actually out handle by a huge margin. But we can go off of manufacturer numbers anyways and you're wrong again. Sport+ mode on the PDK is 4.2 0-60.

It's like comparing a horse to a camel. Trained race camels have been known to be faster than horses on occasion but which would you rather ride? Which looks more graceful and has a better feel? LOL.

PS: By the way, your skidpad numbers are wrong.

Enjoy reading up on some equal comparisons, I never said that was max lat g's that either vehicle is capable of. But what I provided is on an equal skid pad that's the difference, so no, they are not wrong, 0.01g difference. You're right, this is about equal tests on road/track environment not just paper.

Or try watching a video or a macan without sport chrono (aka slower version)?

I was simply using the Macan Turbo (an SUV) as an example of why you can compare a sports car to a saloon because I know details on the Macan. Please see signature if you think I dunno the point of a sports car
