I know the RWD versions are known to go 0-60 in 5 seconds.. there might be a bit of extra weight due to the awd.. but it could pull harder for the very same reason

thanks! I was thinking the same thing and was wondering if anyone got the same results, full tank of gas, 70F dry conditions didn't do launch control

Launch control..?

there's no science to what I am about to say, but i had a RWD 350 that I traded for a AWD 350, I did several road tests and was back and forth between them, RWD feels slightly quicker to the point where it is noticeable, but the AWD is very close behind. to get the most out of it, turn off your TRC and VSC, put it in D and normal driving mode..

Did a 0-60 test with my 2011, AWD with cheap Firestone tires on a slight incline in regular drive mode with traction control on. Definitely under 5 seconds! These cars are underrated!!

My IS350 is RWD

mom glad I watched your video. I always thought my car took to long on the 1-2 shift. Mine has the same type of shift. ( and hate it )

I had it in Sports mode when I did this run, which holds the revs when going hard. In normal mode it shifts quickly through the gears

Mine is RWD, when in sport mode it shifts quick. In normal mode,just driving normal 1-2 shift is a little slower then the rest of the shifts.

I am not sure what is causing that. Normal mode it should shift quickly

Reset the ECU. Either fuse or - Negative unhooked on battery side. Wait 15 minutes or more, and then reinstall.
You'll have low KCLV so go drive around to get the maximum you can.

My shifting is fine, it's the other poster who has this issue. I was commenting that I didn't know what was causing his slow shifting. But thanks for the advice

I’ll give it a try , maybe I’ll record it and start a new thread. It’s not unreasonable slow, just sometimes slower than the other gears. Rpm depending.
