I think tracking any car is fun, heck it'd be fun in the bloated LS (it's a luxury car). Although I do agree the IS feels a bit neutral/isolated compared to some other cars. @ CL guys, this isn't a troll, I still like the IS quite a bit, I just don't agree with it's steering feedback. If Lexus wanted the car to "track" better, they could, but they'd be giving up some luxury.

I hope they figure out a way to get about 400 lbs off the car if it's going to be the new Supra. if it's 3600 lbs like the IS, it'll be a class leader for porky weight.

plenty smart to know that a srt does not run 14.1 unless u live in the highest mountains maybe thats why your cars are so slow.....or....maybe u thought u owned a srt but really only had a regular hemi and stole a srt badge from someone.....that could explain a 14.1......as for the rustang ....who knows who tunned that junk box!!!!13.8 with 383rwhp....i feel sorry for u .....I know my stuff and it seems your cars are all lemons ......cars that run 110mph 1/4
dont run 14.1 and 383rwhp cars should not run 13.8

well i have had my is350 for about a month now... i have never tracked it... and i can say that my 99 mustang cobra is much faster and i don't even have a supercharger. i was putting down 315 rwhp with the cobra it had all the bolt ons, exaust, intake, gears, and it ran mid 12's all day at 110-112 mph. Saying the best you could get out of a car with almost 400 rwhp is 13.8 is straight up embarassing for whoever is driving the car.

Wow, it's obvious you're just a punk kid who "bench races" and pulls his numbers of the internet. I, on the other hand, have real world experience with all of these cars. And yes, if you had checked, you would see that I live in Arizona. Heat and elevation hurts our times down here. But I'm comparing ALL of these cars that I'VE driven AT THE SAME TRACK!!! How 'bout I do this for you... take off .5 from each cars times, that's what they would run at a better track. But again, I'm sure you already know this... cough cough.....

And Vette-boy... I've owned an '00 C5 FRC, '03 Heads/Cam/Headers/etc Z06, and an '05 C6. You wanna know what myZ06 ran here, on street tires? 12.4 @ 119, here in AZ. Yes, I suck at driving (I held the fastest run of the night in my '00 FRC and the best reaction time two different nights).
Anyway, I'm getting bored with the experts... I'll let you guys talk it up...

i don't really bother racing my is....whats the point.... its a nice car....thats not going to impress anyone with a mid to high 13 sec run and a 2.0 60 foot time...as for taking a .5 off your time maybe.....but i still prefer my original idea of u only of u driving a rebadged 300c
PS: oh yeah, a high 11s C5 vette isn't that big of a thing to brag about anyway. My buddy just bought a used C5 Z06 bone stock for $29k and he runs 12.2, with a couple thousands of $ in it, it wouldn't have any problem running mid 11s.
