I just did some more research online about the acura nsx automatic and manual. it seems the auto v6 gets down to the low-mid 14s 1/4 mi. the manual v6 gets down to the low-mid 13s 1/4 mi. but anyhow, the nsx production has already ceased and it's replacement engine on the next incarnation will be something larger. the is350 now reigns as the n/a production v6 king!
but on pt #5, does anyone have timeslips of the srt8 domestics, n/a mercedes performance cars, and the cts-v?
and so far, pts 1-4 are still valid!

point 4 is incorrect... (Porsche GT3 RS with 0-60 in 3.8-3.9 (can keep away from Ferrari 430 in 0-110, since your said world)
Point 5 is incorrect... (Mercedes C55 can do low 13's in the quarter mile, 0-60 about 4.9)

You guys really got to chill with these comparisons... they're just to funny. I mean you guys are comparing a v6 4 door luxury sedan with GT3???? That makes me love my IS350 even more. Put it this way, its quick for a 4 door saden in its class, and quicker then some in a higher class. Which is more than any one could ask for since the car alone is a LEXUS.

The only valid points anyone has brought up that disputes him are C55 and the SRT-8 300c, Magnum and Charger (chrysler LX cars). Most 0-60's less then 5 secs, 1/4 in 12.9's stone stock! And, in Canada at least, less expensive then the IS 350. Also the SRT-8's all handle extermely well. Talk about light on its feet. The dam things weigh 4400+ lbs, and flick into corners with the best of them. Best performing/ fastest sedan for the buck, no contest winner is SRT-8 series. Interior luxury and looks, IS350 by miles...

An IS350 in Canada starts from C$48,900, & is C$60K fully loaded : https://www.lexus.ca/lexus/experienc...262T&year=2006
