Default 0-60 times for 250is manual vs. 250is auto vs. 350is

What are the generally agreed upon 0-60 times? I ask because I'm just wondering how much quicker the manual makes the 250 and am also interested to know by how much a 350 would beat me. On some other post one of you 350 guys claimed "8 car lengths" for the 350 against the 250. One thing I do know from my test driving, the 250is manual is a LOT faster than the 250is auto, but never had the joy of driving a 350is though.

The IS350 has a 0-60 of 5.1-5.3 seconds.

Dont know about the 250 AT/MT/AWD though.

official times: (0-100 km/h)
IS 250 aut:: 8,4
IS 250 man: 8,1

I´ve seen 7,9 sec in a test with IS 250 aut (0-100 km/h)
60 mph is a little slower then 100 km/h (about 96 km/h)

So a manual IS 250 maybe can do 0-60 mph in about 7,5 sec ?

What are you basing that assumption on??? Shaving .6 seconds off the official time without mods is no easy task. Even if it is 2 mph difference. (I believe 0-100kph is 0-62mph)

Lexus IS250 RWD 6-Spd Manual Issue-4/06

AWD loses almost a half second 0-60 speed to the 2WD model and 12 mph at the top end.
