That 13.1 seems a little high to me, but I hardly have any M3 seat time. I'm sure someone on here would have more to say about that, or about ones they've seen run at the track.

Basically, on the street, if the other guy is slipping or thinks the IS is just some "Lexus"

The only thing I'm a little dissapointed about on this test is the skid pad numbers. 0.85g is not exactly exciting.

Take out some weight, add a little power, get some colder weather, you can hit a 13.5 with no issues.
That is RIDICULOUS for a 35k luxury sports sedan.

About the conditions, they said before 8AM it was already 100 out, and got as high as 116! Those are NOT optimal runninng conditions for any car really. No mention of humidity, which may have had a larger affect than temperature alone. There will be more tests though, and I'm sure members will be taking their ISs to the strip and be reporting back here.

Funny....When i read the write up on the homepage about the IS350, the author wrote how driving the IS250 AWD and the IS350 was night and day...
He mentioned how he left the IS250 standing still...
Now I see why...
