Default I haven't seen any real world numbers yet

Hey guys! I'm looking into picking up a new IS350 F Sport RWD withing a month or two and I was just curious how everyone is doing on the performance side of things? I've been looking for some stock 0-60 and 1/4 mile times but most of everything I've been finding is related to the AWD F Sport which I've been hearing is a little less performance-oriented. I'm not really interested in what factory/website/car review numbers come up with but am more curious as to what you guys are getting in the real world. Thanks for the help!

see my post from almost a month ago..

as far as MPGs, with the takada itake i average 19-21 MPG a tank, in both sport and eco modes

edit: sorry just saw you were asking for a RWD, but at least you know it'll be faster than what I posted.

Thank you for the reply! I did find your post when I was digging and I was happy with those numbers, assuming/hoping the RWD would be maybe 2/10ths of a second faster or so.

i forgot to mention in that post that i didn't do any brake torqueing at all, just kept right foot on break and moved it to gas during third yellow light). Having not driving an auto in years I forgot to do that. So even my times aren't as good as I could've gotten.
