E46 M3

Body style(s) 2-door coupe
2-door convertible

Looks like we're good on that front, the e46 only came as a 2 door coupe/convertible. No sedan.

On Paper the 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD comes close, but haven't seen much in terms of real road tests for that car so don't really know how realistic those numbers are.

Damn, can't really think of anything else....

Power specs are really close, but its alot heavier than the IS350.

It's not close, I've raced two of them, one of them multiple times because he's my friend.

It's...not close.

Acura never does anything right, so I saw it coming.

yeah and from checking with the TL community, looks like it runs mid to high 5's to 60 so.....

also what are the numbers for the new G37 sedans?

This thread riterates how incredible and successful the 2IS design is. Whether it's the high mileage 250 or blistering 350, I believe this model will be a classic vehicle in Lexus history. I'm even reminded of the 1IS and some past Honda Civics and Accords that are still in high demand nearly twenty years later. This is the ultimate sign of a winning car.

If anything happens to my 250 I know what I'm getting next

Somebody needs to let me drive their 350, I need to see what all this fuss is about

Hahaha Yes the IS350 is a fast bullet. I get that. But after driving it for half a year I'm ready for faster. I think I just got used to it.

Eg1: NOS!
Eg2: IS-F!


Quick Reply: is the IS350 the fastest in the world?
