I'm sorry to dissappoint you, but your IS stands no chance with a BMW 328i or 328Ci. You might be able to keep up with 323i(Ci)/325i(Ci)..... BUT... if you have a GS400 or GS430, you can eat a 328Ci for lunch!

lol, are you kidding me? you must be. i race my cousin's auto 330i and we were bumper to bumper. my is300 (with srt) vs my tiptronic s4 takes its off the line by about 1.5car lengths and up to a 1/4 mile would lose only by about .5 car lengths. now, 328...you do the calculations. to think that a 328 is superior to an is300 is a joke! btw, its mostly in the driver.

i wish u luck! i think if u launch right, i think u can beat the BMW, but since its both an INLINE-6 and its similar in HP, it wouldnt be a devastating beat or defeat! so just go for it, and if u lose, u lose, if u win, good for u! hehehehe~~~

...and if you die then at least you've had 16 good years. Try not to take out any innocent bystanders though. (Of course you might think that racing a powerful car at 16 with little driving experience is not clever, and that there must be more to life than being given a car on plate by daddy....you might be right.)
