how fast is IS350 really?
#46
Plus, remember that the STIs will kill us in auto X. My brother's 2008 STI is much faster and the previous generation STI was very fast too. Without a limited diff all we do is spin the tires while the STI's enjoy the benefit of awd with variable front rear power.

guys, stop giving someboy **** c'mon. he was just asking a question. why don't you just answer it and go about your way, and if you feel compelled to question his driving habits or his tendencies to race, be polite about it. there's no need to call him a dumbass or berate him about it. a simple yes or no would have sufficed
and then he not only went on about how he can beat lesser competition with his is350 in street races, but he also brags about his $4000/year insurance rate. wouldn't you want to question his driving habits or his tendencies to race?
btw, imo public forum = court of public opinion. if he didn't want us to question his driving habits or tendencies to street race, maybe he shouldn't have put it out there.

$4K a year for insurance, and you're out there street-racing?
if you bought the is350 thinking that you can mod it to produce ridiculous amounts of horsepower, then you didn't do your homework. BUT if you bought your is350 to get you from point A to point B in comfort, style, and with a bit more power, then you've done well.
if i were you, i'd be more concerned about your insurance rate and your driving record instead of which cars you can beat in a street race.

An IS350, I would think, should be nowhere near that price of a SL55 or SC430, let alone the two together. The fact that he's paying $4k/yr and only paid $800 more for those two cars should tell you something. My g/f pays $1100 for full coverage on her IS350 fwiw...

he asked "how fast is (the) is350 really?" i believe in this case, a "yes" or "no" would not have sufficed.
and then he not only went on about how he can beat lesser competition with his is350 in street races, but he also brags about his $4000/year insurance rate. wouldn't you want to question his driving habits or his tendencies to race?

And also to FisforFast, I have beaten BMW 335i stock without too much trouble. That's why I stated "from personal experiences" in the first post I made.

don't understimate the hr 350z they will walk over the is350. trust me I had one. stock power was 306 hp and 0-60 is faster than an is350. Although I'd take a crap on both of these cars with my mighty F =)
