From a roll, the IS should be able to keep up (if not be faster) as it has a better power to weight ratio compared to the evo.

From a dig (which is generally a given in such statements) they shouldn't have much trouble putting multiple car lengths on the IS350 (ceteris paribus).
From a roll its a whole another story. My own personal experiences with an STi would lead me to believe that an Evo would be highly unlikely to pull on the 350.
