Default is the IS350 the fastest in the world?

Is the IS350 the fastest Sedan, with a 6-cylinder engine, that is not turbo or supercharged from factory???

I went down the list and figured the 330i, C350, TL, G35 (sedan), and G37 (sedan), Accord, Mazda6, Maxima, etc. aren't faster than the IS350.

I'd be hard pressed to find another N/A v6 sedan that has as powerful of a 1st gear as the IS350.

The 1st gear in the IS350 is downright FEROCIOUS. It's...mind bogglingly fast, especially when you get perfect traction.

e46 m3 and IS350 are equal, and it makes sense if you look at the numbers. I've had my run in with the mighty e46 m3 before, came out as a wash, "technically" a win for the IS350, if anything.

BMW E46 M3: .................... IS 350:
0 - 10 MPH: 0.5 s ........ 0 - 10 MPH: 0.5 s
0 - 20 MPH: 1.1 s ........ 0 - 20 MPH: 1.0 s
0 - 30 MPH: 2.0 s ........ 0 - 30 MPH: 1.9 s
0 - 40 MPH: 2.8 s ........ 0 - 40 MPH: 2.7 s
0 - 50 MPH: 3.8 s ........ 0 - 50 MPH: 3.8 s
0 - 60 MPH: 4.8 s ........ 0 - 60 MPH: 4.9 s

Virtually identical down to 60. IS350 actually as a .1 second edge up to 30 (basically 1st gear which runs through ~36 MPH)
