I did try, was quite damp on sport plus and traction fully off (holding onto the traction button until the vsc icon appears)
I was rewatching the review from EverydayDriver on youtube when they pitched the IS350 against the Cadillac & 3 Series - I wonder if they turned it off properly cause if you press it once it says TRAC OFF but it's only temporarily or something cause they kept complaining how intrusive the ESP was .. !
I like the car but am starting to understand why people prefer turbo engines, you just dont get the push back feeling .. Relative's 328 definitely pushes harder

Lol what lag ?!? Peak torque comes in so early, just off idle around 1250 rpm

Haven't had the chance to track yet, but from watching reviews never really seen the car goes sideways anyways - they should put an LSD on the next one!

Yeah I saw the same on all the video I've watched too. But I've yet to get my tires to spin from a dead stop with the traction control turned off fully. Or as turned off as possible.
