That extra HP is needed as they're heavy AF.

Heard they have issues shifting once you throw some power at them?
Such a shame the VR never made it into the outgoing Z. The Z just feels so.... less massive than the Q and R35. If you’ve never driven an R35 before it literally feels like driving a tank, not my style at all. When the 370 is gone, people will miss it.
I love that VR, but the Infiniti marquee is just a lease and dump brand at this point. Assuming Nissan can remain a going concern, they will fix that in the Z from what I’ve read... but I’m over it at this point.
That said, at least that makes the cost to entry on the used market easy and good power potential.
They're not that quick. My Stage 1 Golf slowly walked a stock g35, so your GTI should have no issues at all with it.
The Q60S/Q50S is an absolute beast that keeps getting better. My Q60 RS AWD made 460hp/499tq to the ground with basic bolt-ons and a mild tune. I'd steer clear of them. I've been in a buddies stage 2 MK7 R and it felt like a peppy toy compared to my violently quick Q60. That said, I love my current MK7 R but their truly is no comparison from a roll or dig (if Q is AWD) if both platforms are modified. If you stayed with him, they were surely bone stock and it wasn't a red sport (400hp from the factory vs. 300 on the 3.0T yet only real difference is the OEM tuning).

Did it look like this from the rear?
The new twin turbos sound better. The naturally aspirated VQ still sounds exactly the same. Like the STI, nothing has changed in 20 years.do they still sound like 2003 350Z? Or they sound better now?

That was the S54 for me. Sounded broken, mad and glorious, all at the same time. Individual throttle bodies, nice, high redline, who cares that you had to shim the valves?I'm not an exhaust guy. I've never given a shit what my car "Sounds" like, aside from hearing the turbo. With that said - The VQ is my favorite OEM exhaust of all time. It's just so damn distinctive, I remember playing basketball with my best friend in high school and hearing a VQ cold start like all the way down the block and I was just taken aback. Never heard such a unique exhaust note from an OEM car that's not like 60K+
