I agree with one thing. People don't know how quick the IS350 actually is. Just because the IS250 is one of the slowest luxury sedan people automatically think the IS350 would be the same.

So both of us were getting on HWY and i right lane was ending. So he was behind me and he knew that i will go left first. But he decided to show off. So i moved left and left him 3 cars behind. I slowed down to HWY speed limit.
So He was pissed that i didn't let him go first and my car was faster haha.
He had crazy white, green body kit and huge spoiler.

Just a few months ago I was cruising in my Z, minding my own business prepare to stop at a light. Then a new CTS went fast and cut in front me( on a 3 lane blvd). Again minding my own business I changed lanes so I ended next to him. Light hits green, I was going slow then this guy cuts me off three times and brake checked me. Oh yea he pissed me off now. I sped up once and he couldn't pass me no matter how much he tried. Let's just say he has a permanent mark on his new car.

I'm just saying, be careful. If you want to race and have a good time by all means do so but in a safely manner. What if it was one of your loves one who got hit and seriously hurt or even worst died, all because someone wanted to show off how fast their car was.

Because the straight line acceleration ability of each car is so similar, which ever car gets the jump will win. Much like off the line in a drag race. I happen to own both cars, so I know which one is quicker ;-)

No one is a perfect driver and people have different tolerances for certain driving styles. From the racer weaving in and out of traffic to make it to the next exit 10 seconds before you do to the perfect driver cruising down the acceleration ramp at 50 to the end only to be puzzled by everyone doing 80 causing drivers move out the way quickly.
I do a lot of driving and have seen some stupid *** crap out there. Most of it has nothing to do with speed but sheer disregard for anyone else but them selves! Changing 3 lanes, 65 in the outside lane with no other cars on the highway. Changing lanes whenever they want because they have their indicator on!
Don't forget all those medicated people too
One missed pill away from passing out.
Speed is dangerous because when something goes wrong it hurts more. It's certainly not the most dangerous thing I see.
Just saying Flame away.

I think people get hurt even if they are not driving. I think i drive safer than general public. Driving slow doesn't mean they can hurt anyone or they know how to drive and control a vehicle. so your statement is incorrect. Accidents happen because people don't know how to drive or control vehicles. I never said i was speeding. I accelerated to 65 little quicker than normal vehicle. How is it dangerous to your or someones love ones. I hope their kids are not playing on the HWY…..

Flame away.Also even something goes wrong at 65MPH is enough to kill someone or even the driver. anything over 35-40 miles is dangerous. So at what point you determine if someone is speeding? If they are faster than you? speed kills. No matter if you are doing 60 or 80 or even 100. its all about your luck.
People have slipped, fell and died in shower lol. So it doesn't mean we can't shower because you have chances of slipping and get hurt.

Good points made by a lot of people in this thread & I agree with this post, when I had my NSX (stock) I raced my buddies stock IS350 at freeway rolls often. It really is basically whoever gets the jump first because we were neck & neck every single time. So if OP were the one behind the NSX, then you wouldn't have been able to pass the NSX as well. I tell you what though, the 6spd transmission that came out in '97 really improved the acceleration vs pre '97 NSX's. People tend to forget how old the car is because of how modern it still looks, heck when the NSX first came out 24 years ago, the Lexus LS400 was still brand new at the showroom floors. I think about selling my C63 for another NSX often..& if you were to ask me to choose between my IS350 or a NSX..well there is no question on which car I would choose lol.
