Is the IS250 really a 8.3 0-60 car? I think mine is faster
I got a stopwatch and timed my 0-60 tonight. All I have is a drop in K&N and a Tanabe exhaust. They dont do anything for performance, and I timed my car (granted it was with a stopwatch) but it was around 6.8-7.2 ish. Has anyone else noticed how there is no way that the 0-60 is all the way at 8.3 I mean my truck was faster and it had 35 inch mud tires on it and weighed twice as much

Get somebody with a G-Tech that'll tell you 0-60.
And before people start ranting on how the GTECH may not be accurate, I tested mine and everything was pretty much on except the MPH but I can't get it to read the cars RPMs and I'm sure thats an issue.

Your not going to get an accurate time with a stopwatch in your hand while your focusing on the 60mph mark. No 8.3 is not right at all I would give it low 7's to high 6's.

Its not race car by ne means but it gets the job done. I bet you and money i can go 0-60 in 3 inches of snow faster than most cars! Hehe i love the awd we had a snow storm last nite and got about 4" of snow and i was on the highway before they plowed me and this audi A4 were bombing by everyone that was going 35.

Get a G-Tech and quit hypothesizing. You aren't going to be too accurate with a stopwatch.
I had a 250 loaner... felt about as fast as my FX35 AWD... which means very high 7's low 8's.
