I got to run and buy this car and driver and scan. Info from CL member jlin101, thanks.
Motorweek got a 0-60 run in 5.5 seconds.
Clearly, the new IS is the quickest factory Lexus ever offered to the public. And its now the quickest in its class (which will mean tons to all the guys on the internet that magazine race)

Now...the GS 460? Yikes!

We already know the Japanese GS350 available in Japan now already have similar Hp/torque ratings as the IS350 : http://lexus.jp/models/gs/performance/powerunit.html

I really doubt Lexus will allow a lower model GS V6 out perform the higher line GS V8 version. Perhaps equal but not surpass. It wouldn't make sense to have a high line v8 version if that.
