Ya, when I was at the meet this past weekend, I followed a IS250AWD that floored it and it was definitely more like 7 seconds... I was quite surprised actually!!

According to Road & Track...."The Lexus blasted to 60 mph in 4.9 sec. and to the quarter-miles mark at a blistering 13.5, which bests even the more expensiveV-8-powered Audi S4"

GOO LEXUS~

I used to own a 05 A4 GTO listed at 4.6 from 0-60 stock ...I think that my stock IS350 can match that....no Joke here that 6 speed tranny is quick and delivers the power really good to the ground, the Goat wasted to much HP when it hit second gear but it was a monster after 70 mph...the stock GTO also did the 1/4 mile in low 13's but with a little mods that I put on it was doing low 12's before I traded it for the 07 IS350.

Lol are you sure you don't have a 350? No way a 250 can do that.
