Can anyone find any videos of a drag race between these two cars?

I see a couple of google results kind of saying the IS350 is faster (don't want to start a war here) but I can't find any video proof.

Would love if there was a video of both 2016's going at it... but 2015's would work too.

I find it hard to believe that the IS350 comes out on top of the RC 350.. but it appears it does in a few different tests.

why do you find it hard to believe? both use the same engines. the curb weight of the IS is lighter then the RC.

When I googled it the results I found seemed to indicate that the IS was a full second faster than the RC.. that's what I find hard to believe..

The fastest magazine test results I've found for the IS were 5.3 seconds for an AWD model and 5.6 for RWD. Every test result I've seen for the RWD has been in the 5.8 to 6.0 area.

the difference is negligible. the times are so close

Is350 is lighter will be slightly faster. Test drove both of them before getting the is350. RC 350 feels slower and heavier.

Found a 2008 IS350 vs a RC350.. but no 3IS vs RC lol.

But according to the Lexus Website, the IS RWD 0-60 is 5.6 seconds, AWD is 5.7 seconds.
RC 350 RWD is 5.6 seconds, AWD is 5.8

Not much of a difference, almost everything in the car is the same except the weight and chassis.

2008 IS350 is about 5 sec 0-60 and 1/4 miles 13.4-13.7 second. For 2014-2016 IS350 about 14.1 in 1/4 miles.
