295lbft of torque compared to 277lbft for the IS350 - not bad going.

In fact makes the IS350 look a bit of a wimp.

I've yet to find a way to race to lose to a 220d actually...

thats funny you guys are all stoked about diesels...usually its a more affordable alternative here as we get taxed to shell and back for HP...

you can get a 220d from about $50,000 here, while a 250 sets you back about $85,000.

a new 350 would be about $125,000 and the F retails at $200,000...
