By "Blow you a way" I didn't mean a direct reference to speed/racing/beating you lol... I was trying to indirectly reference something else ... lol.


Yeah we know the 250 is slow.

Thanks guys! and yea, we all know the output from boosting, not trying to be the fastest just wanted to be part of the boost crowd I'll be making a thread about it today or tomorrow probably. I did before dyno runs and will do an after to give y'all actual results!

I learned a lot after two days of lapping. That picture was taken day one. That R8 left me in the dust on the following straight. Then again, what 400hp+ car wouldn't. On day two, I was out driving and passed an Evo X, RS4, 335xi, S4's and Caymen only because their skill level was lower. Slower cars/drivers are required to let faster vehicles pass on the two straights. Although I will say that the IS 350 will keep up 2010+ S4's just fine including the straights. Those things are torque monsters starting at 2k rpm. When it comes down to it, if you can maintain a good line and shave time off those twisties, you're going to catch up to cars that should be faster than you. In my case, I was catching up to a modified M6 in the turns and he'd leave me behind in the straights.
