Default Video: 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. broke my 4.9

Some reviews say the Is does 0-60 in like 5.6 I dunno why.

Ive been trying to get better 0-60 times than this past summer since the weather is much better now in the winter. This summer i was getting 5.0, 5.1 and 4.9 was my best.
now I am getting 4.9 4.8 and my best 4.7. I have one video. here it is:

I always try to do these runs on the same road. the Vector FX tells me if its flat or not.

I bet the F gets low 4,s under same conditions

Dude, Edmunds is the laughing stock of the automotive world. I think they clocked the IS-F at 4.8 seconds to 60 while car & driver and road & track recorded 4.2!

If your car is fast enough for you then guess what?..........it's fast enough for you

I'd like to see if you get the same times at a track. Not to knock the Vector times (your runs are very impressive!), but a track time is more official.

I'm not denying you though. It's good to run it in the track for best accuracy. I give credit to juice14 for even making runs in the street. I trust him.

Good points! I'm not doubting his times, but if the OP wants to be crowned as the "Fastest Known IS350" , then I'm gonna need to see a timeslip.

Not doubting you - as an IS350 owner and also Road and Track subscriber...I also read about the IS350 0-60 4.9sec run

But I am just wondering how accurate the vector is?
more curious than anything - not doubting

been thinkin about getting one actually but curious about how it gets it data.

I love how the IS350 can be so understated and quick, while the IS250 AWD is so non understated and so slow lol
