hmm... if these 3 cars would race in a straight who'd win? id put my money on the IS300 but could it go either way? iv'e driven an IS and GS, the gs has a lil more power than the IS but the GS is heavy. the ES weighs about the same and has almost as much power than the IS but the engine is different. if the time ever comes where id have to go against one of these cars, would i have a chance in hell to win?

id say is300. It probably has better gearing than the es and a weight advantage over the gs.

i would say IS300 win, GS second, and ES last.
mainly because of how the engines are set up
the 2JZ's in the IS and GS. and both RWD. while the ES with a V6 and FWD.
IS is also lighter and more sport tuned. just my thought.

I raced an IS with 19inch rims/bodykit in my 96ES and lost. He must have had some other mods too, I'm assuming.

uhh... you would've lost even if he didn't have mods. 215-hp I-6 RWD IS300 vs. a '96 188-hp V-6 FWD ES300. it's not much of a battle against an IS unless you've got a TRD supercharger.

1) IS300
2) GS300
3) ES300

The IS300 is quicker and gearing is much better than compared to the ES300.

I think the only ES300 that would stand a chance is a '92-'93 manual. That could beat a GS300 and maybe an IS300 auto. No chance against an IS300 manual.

But I'm assuming you're talking about new models....

In that case, the ES will lose to both.
