I have Nankang 255 all season tires. I have the spare wheel out. I'm sure I can get a better time with decent summer wheels.

Wow, this is very interesting. I always thought our car is slower than the G37 lol. Was this on a 1/8 or 1/4 mile track? I know IS350 can beat ISF on the 1/8 mile lol due to very aggressive 1st gear.

What was your and your friend's 0-60 and finish time? I want to see the break down.

I think the G37 is a lot heavier than our cars right?

Not really. On paper, G37 has better figures than IS350 in almost all aspects. I'm just very surprised by the results.

Based on the Infinity website, G37:
Curb weight: 3,624 pounds.
Engine: 3.7 V6.
HP: 328 hp @ 7,000 rpm
Torque: 269 lb-ft @ 5,200 rpm

Our IS350:
Curb weight: 3600 pounds.
Engine: 3.5 V6
HP: 306 HP @6400 RPM
Torque: 277 lb-ft @4800 RPM

Just curious, which K&N intake are you using? 1 or 2. Just want to know because your car sounds really good.

1.


or

2.

Your car sounds similar to mine. Pretty obnoxiously loud. I have a similar intake, nvidia midpipe with F-sport axle.

The IS350 will win that fight every time! Thanks for the vids AND racing legally!

An IS350 driver on a perfect pass can get close an 1/8th mile pass of an IS-F on a bad pass. But if all circumstances similar with both cars, the IS-F will win every time. Ask me how I know!
