Default VIDEO: IS300 vs GS300

Ahh, another video. This is a video of me and fellow CL member vboy418 playing around on some country roads down here in Alabama. Regardless, I knew he was going to beat me but in the first run I caught major wheel spin. The second run is how it's supposed to be -- except for the fact that his brother was too close to the road and he had to cut in front of me to avoid hitting his brother! ( )

It's 10 megs, not my best work, but worth checking out.

Brendan,

Your video editing and flash skills have been steadily improving. Don't know about the techno version of that Ready For The World song though (if that's the correct name of that old R&B group).

Great job Brendan!

I noticed on one of the brake/torque starts that Tan did he had smoke coming from the right rear wheel. I guess he doesn't have the Torsen limited slip diff on his IS?

Anyway, just BE CAREFUL doing the side by side runs on the road! I assume your camera guy was calling you on a cell phone to tell you the road was clear or something like that?

EXACTLY on everything Paul.

Also, hardly anybody goes through these roads -- they are way deep in the country. Got some GREAT footage tonight, which will be on the upcoming DVD. Christmas Eve = no cars anywhere

Merry Christmas btw

Hmm. Is that IS heavily modded or something? I kill IS300 all day in the G300, really confused about that, anyway good VID. All noticed when you did your brake torque in the GS you let the tires spin to much, at first it look liked you where going to do a burn out and then you let it go, that really hurts you in drag racing.
