Any chance the IS350 could do sub 5 seconds in the 0-60?

Can a F430 seat four? We all wish that the car can do everything better than others and cost less. 0-60 in 5.3 was Corvette/911 territory only 10 years ago. Be content with what you have.

Just to put things into perspective, 15 years ago the first LS400 had a whopping 250hp from a 4.0L 1UZ-FE V8. That was plenty for it's time.

I have drag radials on my 2000 Mustang GT 5 speed. By heating them up properly at the track, my 60ft. time went from 2.1 to 1.9. That equates to a big difference in your overall 1/4 mile track times - dropped me from 13.89 to 13.51 seconds.

but still, just using drag to push the car to sub 5, that's asking too much imho
