Do you have iPhone?

I believe there is an iPhone App called Dynolicious that will track 0-60, 1/4 times as well as dino your car. I have the app but never found a place to give it a try.

I heard it was close to the real thing.

Under extremely ideal conditions, 0 to 60 in 4.7 in the IS350 is certainly not beyond the realm of possibility with the IS350, but I doubt you'd be able to get that time on "average."

As you hopefully already know though - you can shave anywhere from .5 seconds to nearly a full second off 0 to 60 times by having traction control off.

Since you have a 2006 model, you require the use of the "pedal dance" to turn traction control fully off.

Your run was with traction control completely disabled (via pedal dance) right?

Edit: And the second important point is - the IS350 accelerates fastest from a dig in ECT Normal mode, not ECT PWR mode.
