Default IS 350 Preformance data

Does anyone have any performance data on the IS-350 ( 1/4 times)?

Yes. Every car rag out there. A quick search on Google for "IS350 Road Test" will yield a day's worth of reading.

Do you mean performance? Preformance would be something prior to formance.

To a large extent, Id have to agree with Belmont. The whole raison d'etre of the IS350 is to meld the traditional Lexus attributes like comfort, quietness, refinement and quality materials with class leading power and performance. To trade away that first set of attributes in the interest of saving weight puts the car in an entirely different class of vehicle -- a class where a lot less money buys a lot more power and performance.
