IS 350 vs. Mustang GT
Which city of Pakistan did you visit?
You know all major cities of Pakistan have huge underground racing operations after 10 PM? I can tell you the locations and heat these guys are packing if you want to check it out next time. These are some seriously sick bastards though!

For pakistan i visited Peshawar. Right next to Afghanistan LOL. I got a Ninja over there with no plates HAHAHA
This data proves exactly what I said in my original post. That the GT is faster off the line, but the IS350 is faster in the upper end.
Note: I grabbed the BEST SET of numbers for each vehicle going through road tests on Motor Trend. I don't quite know why the IS takes over the GT at the 100mph point, yet loses in the quarter mile. But, it may be due to shift points, drag, power curve, conducted during a different test ???? Either way, here is data for your consideration.
Acceleration to mph (mustang gt)
0-30 - 1.8 sec
0-40 - 2.8
0-50 - 3.9
0-60 - 5.1
0-70 - 6.7
0-80 - 8.5
0-90 - 10.6
0-100 - 13.1
Passing, 45-65 mph - 2.8 sec
1/4 mile - 13.5 sec @ 103.6 mph

Acceleration to mph (lexus IS350)
0-30 – 2.1 sec
0-40 – 3.0
0-50 – 4.0
0-60 - 5.2
0-70 - 6.7
0-80 - 8.3
0-90 - 10.4
0-100 - 13.0
Passing, 45-65 mph - 2.4 sec
1/4 mile - 13.8 sec @ 102.9 mph

^^ i dont understand.... have you lost against a thousand mustangs in your IS350 and are upset.. the car is just faster.. period.. i could careless what the magazine says.. its all different conditions..
look on dragtimes.. do you see a stock mustang gt that can magange a 13.3.. no. but the IS350 seemed to make that possible
you say the mustang is faster off the line.. well everytime i race my buddies gt.. when we go off the line.. thats when i get the biggest jump... hes a great driver and has tried many different launches... just cant keep up with me at all...

Off the line isn't about power with both of these cars - it's about traction in first gear. Without VDIM, on the street, I'll just spin first gear. At the dragstrip, after a burn out, I still get wheelspin if I'm not too careful - and that's on VHT no dusty streets! So, on the street from a dig would be the one with the better tires and reaction. Simple as that.

I've race 2 mustang GT in one night. They all laugh at me when they ask you wanna race with a V8 in your V6 sedan???? lol. i wasnt the initial asking for a race but they both throw a revv at me at a red line. So then they both took turn in gettins smoked lol ..and their excuse ? oh my clutch arent working right..we race again.. after four time of failing , i keep taking off on them by 3 car lenght then let off. After that my friend with a G35 took his turn to race..got them by almost a car lenght, lol I-8-yor-V8

yea I agree... our cars are the shizznatch? hahaha I beat a Z4 the other day on the freeway. I was completely perplexed.. I guess he didn't know how to downshift or something? or am I just in a dream world?

I find it extremely hard to believe that the mustang is "smoked", beaten "hands down", beaten "easily", beaten "every time", etc. Given the numbers, and my personal experience, I just can't believe it. Especially when some of y'all posting have 20" wheels on your car. But, if that's the case, so be it. That's called street racing.
(Also, if we get on the discussion of tires: the mustang has all season Pirelli P-Zero's. But, I'm not going to start making every excuse for why the mustang could lose, because it's not about that.)

I'm just trying to state facts. Everyone here is taking Cayman's and Gernby's and other's absolutely BEST time ever in a 350 and trying to match it up to a stock GT driven by Joe Smith on the street. People on the board do it all the time when comparing the 350 to a BMW 335. Has Cayman and some others beaten 335's before. YES, therefore it is possible. But, is it typical. I don't think so.

But when it comes to the Mustang, it's not a dirvers race, the IS350 is faster
