actually, i just did a search, this topic has been covered. sorry. I racked up 700 miles on my IS350 just today and now i'm flooring it left and right, well not really, but something like that. So i was just wondering about the POWER and SNOW modes.
I read the manual, but it didn't really go into the specifics of what these modes do. Does anyone know what the car really does when we Switch the POWER ECT on and switch the SNOW mode on? thanks

That's right in the RX, SNOW puts you in second.
When I run my RX at the track (check my homepage if you don't believe me), I leave the PWR button on. That PWR button is good for at least .1 to.2 faster in the 1/4 mile.

I noticed when you have it on POWER, it seems to let the engine rev a little higher before shifting. The downshifts are a lot more noticable as well when you have it in this setting. It shifts (at least downshifts) a lot more aggressively.
