So with these times on Club Lexus... I guess the IS 350 is capable of 5.00 Flat.

Ya I'm too guessing it'll fall behind in triple digits... it is a V6 in the end and only 270 TQ. But then if we start from 0 mph I think the IS 350 will get ahead enough for the 545 to really have to fight to catch up even in the triple digits.

I want to run in cooler temperature. We knew the heat would have affected the times but since everyone was running under the same heat we got a good comparison on what each car can do.

I'm sure I can shave off a little time if I practice lauching. :P Impressive none the less 5.00 flat in 80 degrees even if the G-timer is off its still impressive! :wow:

Hollywood! Lets do a run!! :D

Yes sirrr let's do a clean run head to head. I'm sure it will turn out like the previous two I encountered. Almost a dead tie both ways.

brb taking off a coat of autoglym :P

All these stories put together with the runs explain why it's so hard to negotiate with those damn 350's

I'm actually thinking of trading my car for it :whistle:


That's insane. It looks like a Mazda. Quick or not, its still a Toyota.

Hey,
I'm here. Damn stupid IS350... :P

I'm not going to take a IS350 from a dig anytime soon... :notworthy: From a roll starting at 60, bring it on! :D

Ok Eric. No more messing with IS' :P

I had way too many runs with those damn quick cars :lol: I must admit, they can keep up.

I wanna try another run with the G-meter, I remember my time 0-60 5.27 1/4 mile 13.80 Looks like I have to borrow a set of 18'' lightweights from my cousins work and do another test run haha. If road & track can hit 5.0 I don't see why our 550's can't.

What the hell Jiio? 5.6???!?!?! come on!! hahahhaah jk

Goodtimes today :D

Hello??? You're borrowing my G-Meter. Now go on and "launch" some more. I'm definitely going to be experimenting with my launchs like grogan545 mentioned. I was disappointed in my best time today. Stupid me on my first run I forgot to turn off my A/C, radio, and AIBs. My first time was like 6.4x :blink:
