How is this possible?

Q50 Red Sport 400 @ 3,853 lbs
Q60 Red Sport 400 @ 3,862 lbs

Wheelbase 112.2 inches for both.

I'm really going to be pissed if a sedan walks away from me at a traffic light. :mad:

... I don't know where my mind went with that...

9 lbs isn't a lot, but just to make sure you'll have to find a Q50 red sport 400 and race them. Maybe their nose will be a quarter of an inch ahead of the Q60 in a dead sprint from a stop, but the difference is so minimal.
Yeah, but two extra doors and all that trunk space? It doesn't seem fair :laugh:

AWD is just so much better in day-to-day rl handling scenarios than RWD it isn't even funny... You can floor it in the rain and traction control won't even blink, you can floor it in a hard left turn across traffic to make it through a tiny hole and not even screech the tires. RWD is for marginally better gas mileage and "LOL I HAS THEORETICALLY BEST PERFORMANCE" bragging rights, AWD stomps it everywhere else (source I had RWD 2014 Q60 IPL and have a AWD 2017 Q60 RS, and it does things that 2014 couldn't have dreamed of even with runflats)
Hmmmm, I wonder which would have better lap times :D

If I cared about that I sure as **** wouldn't have bought the Q60, I'd have bought some sports coupe with a shitty light weight interior, no luxury features, and all that extra money going into the engine. You know, a track car.
Then what's the point comparing AWD to RWD? :D
