after a few days playing with my vector fx2 i'm a bit surprised off the results, i find the IS250 not so slow as many think.Ofcourse it is not a IS350 or ISF.
i have done some pulls in the afternoon but this morning in sunny conditions but still not to hot 68f(20degrees) i was able to clock:
1/4m 16.35 @ 91.6
0-80 12.20sec
0-60 7.22sec
I also went up to 4000rpm before letting the cluth go(It's a manual
)
Car has k&n intake and tanabe
Just wanted to share because i'm a proud owner of an Is250

Its fast when we compare it to many cars. But is it fast enough? no. not even the Is350 .
There is always somone faster than you.
My 2 cent

According to me it lacks low end torque. The car is heavy and would deserve some more power. As we can't get the IS350 in Europe, a Gen² IS300 fitted with the GS300 V6 would be perfect for us.

16.35? that seems pretty slow to me IMHO. I had a bone stock 2004 5MT honda accord that did low 15s...
when i drive my 250 it seems faster than my accord, maybe its just because its heavy.

"FAST" is a relative term like "Cold". But it is subjective. IMHO, the IS250 is not fast. I have been driving a 335i and an S4 previous to that. I think they are fast. BUT if I compare those to Z06 Corvettes, M3s and MB AMG cars and other exotics, they are NOT FAST!

The IS350 is a very fast car for what it is and the class it is in. There are very few cars in its class that are faster. A good example is the G37, redesigned and still not as fast or luxurious. It took a twin turbo engine to match the performance the IS!

I took in my Is for the 1000 mile optional check up and they gave me an IS250 Automatic. and hehehe I plugged my vector Fx to it and did 2 runs only 0-60
I got 8.0 and 7.8.
It was like 95 outside so im sure with coller weather that ATX can go down to mid 7's from 0-60

so it's not that bad.isn't it??
... i just wanted to say that i find it pretty fast and yes there are a lot off other cars that are faster but would not want to trade them for my IS250 as daily driver because speed isn't everything when i buy a new car.
The results wil be compared after i installed the mazzuri's
