I raced a 135i tuned and got him by half a car till 130mph then let off. Also raced a Evo X with an intake and beat him by a car.

Nice kill I don't look for race, but sometime got to show them what's up. I'll try to keep it under 100.

A tuned 135i is still faster than the fastest IS350. He'd fly by like you weren't trying. You'd have a chance with a 100-shot, though.

I obliterated a 2008 ish civic Si lol. Those are the ones with the k20z3 or something like that in them. I know the car ain't fast but damn was that fun lol. He gave me a huge thumbs up and went on his way afterwards, must have never known that Lexus makes a decently quick car

Modified, those N54 turbo engines are susceptible to tunes, so I wouldn't drag them from a light either. I bought the 350 for reliability and service, not for performance, which will be fulfilled in 2-3 years by a cayman.

"not for performance"

Then you should have brought a IS250 then

Yea right. the IS350 is a sporty performance sedan. Not high performance but more performance then most people ever need.

i use to say the is350 is a luxury 4 door version of the 350z. back then, the performance was great from this car and the sound. is250 and is350 is not even a fair comparison.

I got slowly pulled on by a local 2006 stage 2 STi sedan. The guy said he had his stock wheels in his trunk and back seat during that race. It was by no means a slaughterfest but he slowly and surely pulled from 20 to about 100. I had a 200+ passenger with me and he had no passengers.
