Thing is, I'm debating which of these 2 cars should i get and wanted to know a little bit more, but it does seem that this guy here lost so he didnt tell us, either that or he crashed and died while racing, I wonder why no one ever posted again asking him where are the reults

If it was me I would get the IS. Been with my 08 since the beginning and it never let me down. Reliability is top notch. The G37 is a good car as well, but is heavier and don't think it handles as well. Then again I'm biased towards Lexus. I'm at 115k miles and it drives and handles like when I bought it. I'm with you on that dude though. Probably was too ashamed to post results. If he did lose though it was all him and not the car. =P

i actually tested both those cars and it felt better driving the lexus for some reason, and btw i hear that 2006 lexus is350 is faster than $2007+, is this true?, I'm debating between a 2006-2008 is350 and a 2011 infiniti g37 both almost same milage (is350 has 4000 miles more) but the g37 is $2k-3k more

I never heard that. Both are rated with the same power specs. Not much aftermarket at all for power upgrades. IMO all you need is a good aftermarket intake for a few hp and sound. Too quiet from factory. Then some suspension mods (springs, shocks, and sways). Car handles great out of the box and acceleration is powerful yet smooth. With those mods I listed you'll have a great time. Lexus has a superb reliability record and will go many miles without issue. Mine has 115k and drives/performs fantastically.

I'm not really the expert on nodding, but can you tell me the name of the upgrades that increase speed, and cost, thanks.

i have watched that video, but the majority of videos have the infinity winning, so i am thinking that the is350 in the video was, modded or the infiniti wasn't serious, btw what can i do to increase the performance of a lexus if I'm on a budget

the IS max performance are mostly just bolt on. So Full Exhaust System from Header - Axle. Intake. get some good tires that will stick. and if you want to go big without a budget, go supercharged kit like all these baller lexus members are doing. Everyone and mostly everyone does the intake mod first its a for sure +5 hp.

Does 5hp really make difference?
