Went to my local 1/8th mile track today to see how it would do. Didn't get any cooldown time, pretty much arrived, got in line and ran. No weight reduction at all... just like I drive it everyday. Workbag etc etc.

Made a few runs, but my best run was my first one.

Ended up running 8.795@80.340 w/ 2.047 60ft.

Pretty much stage with trac control off, hold brake, rev to about 1500, and floor it.

Only mods on the car are f-sport springs, and f-sport rear sway bar.

It was 80 degrees today. Can probably get the 60ft down some more, and get mid 8's on a cooler night.

Looking to do intake/exhaust soon... and seriously contemplating a 75hp shot of NOS also.

Yeah with a perfect launch and cool weather mid 8s is definitely possible.

The fastest 1/8 mile times for bone stock IS350s = 8.51 @ 84.13 MPH, 8.52 @ 84.3 MPH, and 8.597 @ 83.73 MPH

Of course Cole managed an amazing 8.28 @ 85.57 MPH (1/4 mile = 12.8 seconds), but this was with the entire front passenger seat removed and drag radials.

I have managed to whittle it down to 8.67 w/ max mph of 83.9 so far... this is with JoeZ intake. 60ft is the issue... mainly getting 2.0's but did manage to get a 1.99 this past sunday. Drag radials may be the answer so I can launch alot harder.

An 8.7 eighth mile is pretty good! That equates to a 13.4@103 mph

Thanks. Still working on it. Hopefully the JoeZ exhaust can give a good boost. Only issue with that is it was ordered Oct 1, and still hasn't shipped. Don't think an exhaust should take a month to receive(total shipping time once it ships). I am awaiting word from Luis in next day or so before deciding my next step on cancelling or not.

Wow that's insanely fast for a 350 was it awd or rwd? Isn't 12's IS-F territory?

It was my previous RWD 2006 IS350. Run details below and are NOT what you would typically ever see out of an IS350 considering the temps were in the 30's! Mid to low 13's are possible under normal conditions with the same mods and weight reduction.

Mods:
-JoeZ intake pipe
-245/35/18 R compounds
-Tanabe exhaust
-Eibach springs

Weigh Reduction (Keep in mind the car had 1/2 tank of fuel) last minute trip to the strip.
-PC680 lightweight battery
-Spare tire and tools removed
-Front seat removed (the car was not gutted, but since the seat is easily removed and I had the extra fuel weight I decided to pull it)

Weather:
-35F!
-30.48 Barometric pressure
-19F Dew point
-Calm winds

Wow good run. I was under the impression that your car was stock just removed the seat with drag radials. Looks like you had some bolt ons too but that is still a very good run.

Doesn't it seem all quite relative though? To actually run a 12.8 wouldn't you need to keep the last part of the run phenomenal? Even given the great start I'd assume to follow through you'll need more power to keep the momentum going. Just food for thought but either way nice job.

yeah many cars get quick starts but it is the mid range power that will get you that god 1/4 mile time, still impressive though.

Glad to see I'm not the only one visiting the local strip in a near-stock 350 to make some Mustang & Camaro owners angry. LOL!

I went out the strip last weekend in my new to me '10 ISF and my buddy drove my mom's 06 350 bone stock with 80k miles and ran 13.8xx's all night long with a best of 13.793. Sadly I couldn't break into the 12's with my F my buddy who is 50 pounds lighter than me did manage a 12.914 at 109 though.

not a bad run, +1
