Yeah, it's almost as funny as a supercharged IS350 getting 42hp at the engines flywheel.

But then i can say the same for 350, why not trade up for is-f? Maybe lexus should not make such a big hp gap.

Because IS250->IS350 is only a $3500 difference in price, for over 100 horsepower.

IS350->IS-F is a lot more expensive a price jump.

Plus, 250->350 knocks over 2 full seconds off your 0-60 and 1/4 mile times... 350->IS-F is considerably less an improvement.

^That's true. You also get other stuff in the is-f: Quick shifting in sport mode, 19" rims, and some other minor stuff.
