Loaner IS250's tires have less grip perhaps?

He he
IMO The only time you need the 350 is for a drag race. All other times the 250 is probably easier to drive and control.

Not necessarily true. I need that extra HP to merge onto the freeway and change lanes. I probably use my 306 HP at least twice a day and still average 22 MPG with mix freeway and city driving..

i got my car back from the valve spring recall last fri. i have yet to do a WOT from a stop... merging is so easy that 1/4 - 1/2 throttle is more than enough
