The IS350 is no where near the fastest N/A. Just from the top of my head:

- 370Z (not the G37 though, we'll smoke that)
- IS-F
- Latest 4D BMW M3

and other domestics like Cadillac CTS-V, Corvette, etc.

the keywords are

1) SEDAN

2) V6

3) Naturally Aspirated

Those do not meet the requirements

It's a disease trust me. I've had the F now for a little over a year and it is too slow and doesn't stir the emotions near enough anymore. There's no end to the madness!

True, Plus the ISF is not the fastest V8 N/A sedan in the world

also what are the numbers for the new G37 sedans?

I believe G37 sedans are running 0-60 in 5.0-5.3 flat (stock)

Title should read "The IS350 is the fastest N/A Auto V6 Sedan and overall Sedan" technically some other car could claim they are "The fastest N/A Manual V6 Sedan" but the IS350 will still be the fastest overall. I wish the 350 had a true manual 6spd, I would buy one in a heartbeat. And yea I know the auto is faster etc..........call me old school I guess with wanting the clutch and shifter.

damn, did not know the IS350 was such a monster...with that being said, i know some egos are being inflated right now, and i bet some of you reading this thread are getting ideas about street racing. i have one word for you guys/girls: don't.


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