LOL. I'd "race" people even with a 250 and they had a 350, it's not like i failed at driving and thats why i lost, or the outcome was unknown. It's all in good fun, and i did have to take a stand for the 250 guys and go boost You just enjoy your new car

And I agree, not all IS350 owners are cocky. I have two friends that own 350. Like other said, they bought used 350 because it was same price as new 250. So they think they got a better deal.

You sound like a bully. I love to get in the boxing ring with you. Just let me know when and where. I live in San Diego.
Why would you (edit: a low posting member, not new) call out a veteran member on here? In my opinion you just seem bothered that you have a 250, and you shouldnt be. It's not like we drive muscle cars or high end performance cars... we drive entry level luxury cars in which there is no horsepower game to be had, no one can really shock you with their ISx50's performance over any other one off the lot. You honestly seem embarrassed since you decided to make a thread about this, thats all i read.

This is first time my 250 got bullied by a 350. And please don't get me wrong, it's NEVER the car...it's the driver. I just thought since we are Lexus owners, we should be cool with each other on and off the road, unless one is acting like a jerk.

The road was wide open. He could've pass me any time. He chose to stay on my tale for a mile. And then decided to change lane since I wouldn't go above 75. Come to think of it now, maybe the a$$hole was under influence of drugs/alcohol.

So what you're saying just because someone has 10million post that person has all the rights to make comments that are not necessary. Since I'm new/low post, I can't be a jerk to a veteran member, but a veteran member can be a jerk to a new member?


Believe me, I was not embarassed. I would be embarassed if I actually tried to race a 350.

if i was you and i will tail gate him all the way.i know is 250 slower than 350 but i think it depend how you drive.will you step on the gas harder to catch him up.he would be scared the hell out.he didnt look at you because he didnt have the gut.

you could be driving a Prius and try to race, you'll win. not all 350 owners are the same.

I agree that it's more about the owner but it seems like the "Lexus Club" has more hate then love. A lot of people I know who have 2IS' tend to criticize my mods because i have a 250. Everyone says its pointless, I should've traded it in. If i could have I would have. I have people with 350s saying they would blow me out of the water, or when we are driving just totally floor it cause i can't keep up. haha it sucks but oh well

Thanks bro Alright, I guess I'll just move on form this forum cause apparently I'm not doing anything, thanks

Eh it's no different when the AMG was picking on me lol. Eh, once they leave, everything is back to normal.
I wasn't trying to generalize everyone here, it's just my experience. You think I'm really that rude to just say i hate everyone with a 350.. no, my brother has one. 350s are awesome and I'm jealous but based on my experiences, 350 owners have made me feel like my time and money into my car is as 'projectdna' said, just noise.


Sorry for the generalization guys! Didn't mean to offend anyone
