Default Lexus is a Champion

so today my friend called me to show me his new car, a BMW 340I 2005, so we decided to go to okeechobee to gain speed and test his BMW against mine. While we were just having fun accelerating the car other cars came up to us, a Honda s200, Honda Accord V6 2013 with intake and exhaust, an AUDI A4 of the newer models and a chevy Camaro. i have a lexus is350 and today it proved its potential of what it can do with stock ECU. It just fly by the cars like if it had more HP than what the car is said to have (306hp) im really happy with this car. my mods are HPS intake and invidia q300 axel back exhaust. i imagine this car with an ECU tuned and a bottle of NOS

2015 340i? or 2005 3 series? Was that camaro a V6? IS350 can hang with all of the cars you stated pretty easily but the 340i and v8 camaro just simply outgun the IS's engine.

I'm not sure there's a 2005 340i... Are you perhaps thinking of a 2005 330i? Or, a 2015 340i? Big difference there.

Either way, good to hear you're putting your horsepower to good use.

i dont think there is a 2005 340i? like the others said maybe a 2015 340i but i dont think an IS350 can take on that car at all. you may have raced a 2005 540i though

There is no 2005 340i, you beat either a 2005 330i( 225hp )or 325i (184hp), which is understandable since both cars are inferior to yours in terms of speed. You would not be able to beat someone in a 340i if they know how to drive. 340i replaced the 335i for the 2016MY, these are much faster than an IS350.

my bad guys it is a 330i but the former owner had changed the "3" for a "4" 340i lol! the car has some modifications so that is why i think he put the 340i ... even if it does not exist.
