Nevermind,I found the info on the Lexus site.Both do the 1/4 mile in 16 seconds but the RWD is .4 seconds faster 0-60.

5.3 and 14.2 for the IS 350.

As a is350 pilot lemme just say, yes. Just going half throttle from a red lite will leave you all alone in the front of the herd. It makes you paranoid sometimes cuz its like, wow where is everyone and you start lookin in the mirror for cops

You 250 guys are sooooo lucky you dont have this problem at red lites

^^^ If you were ahead of the 350 for even a microsecond on a dry, clean surface, it would only be because of a difference in driving, nothing else.

No breaking of tires with a AWD 250 so for the first few feet a 250 AWD would be ahead.

On a good, dry, clean surface, an IS350 with decent tires will not break traction either. The only way a 250 AWD would have any advantage at all is if the road surface was slick in some way.

I'm surprised the tires won't break off the line.A thought a 350 could leave some rubber behind.

We have amazingly grippy concrete roads where I live that make it very hard to break the tires completely loose. You pretty much have to deliberately do it.
