0-60 on this video looks way too fast. I might be wrong.
Someone check it out.

That's not an American IS350. The fuel econ screen in the dash is 8.4 l/km, it says "KM/H" on the speedo, but yeah that's pretty damn fast... don't forget though, that car is EXTREMELY fast stock, so I don't find that 0-100km time surprising with an upgraded exhaust on it.

just look at the trip meter. see how fast it is changing from 1111 to 1113. it gotta be KM, not Mile.

Check out the "D" and "S" positioning on the dash: it's reversed. The driver is seated at the right...
