Neither, they're both a modified Japanese market Toyota Crown.

Not true

IS350 listed as 0-60=5.3 1/4 mile=14.2
GS350 listed as 0-60=5.7 1/4 mile=14.2

Difference in 0-60 is due to the additional weight between the cars, the reason for the identical 1/4 mile is the difference in gearing between them. Although it is the same transmission the gearing is not the same.
