Not to intrude pretty late but I think there is a huge confusion with the 250/350 AWD and 250/350 RWD.

I drove a 250 rwd, and I won an 250 awd and there is a significant difference in power which can very well be due to drive train loss from driving all 4 wheels as opposed to 2 wheels. the RWD felt quicker than the AWD.

All this other street racing talk, i cant really comment on. I dont street race, I stick to the track

What he is trying to say is that his IS250 is just as fast as an IS350. RWD or AWD doesnt make a difference because the 350 is faster regardless.

the 250 is def NOT faster than the 350 which i agree but when i re-read the original post, it sounded like he was saying that the 350AWD didnt feel much different which in a certain respect I can see. To the crank would be the same HP but to the wheels would be two different numbers (with respect to the dynometers used as well.)

But when he is talking about racing them, The 350 is faster hands down. The only thing i could think is that he didn't open it up all the way to get the full HP difference
