Some other notable lap times:
Cayman S - 1:29:38
Corvette - 1:34:59
BMW e36 M3 - 1:36:53
S2k - 1:38:14
RX8 - 1:42:50

I wasn't the slowest in my group, and can't recall what the other cars were.
Heyarms, hope that gives an idea.

OMG and then this had to happen tonight while I was driving home from work. A woman drove through a red light and hit my front driver side.

i'm sorry to hear that. looks like there's some suspension damage as well? not to be the bearer of bad news, but the writing may be on the wall for your IS250.

i was hoping to see your IS at the march event and get a ride-along, too.

or maybe this is a blessing in disguise? regardless, at least you're okay. i'm sure the car situation will sort itself out.

Very cool and entertaining! I'd love to do this, but not with my car. ; )
Also would have liked to hear the engine work, rather than the music.
But overall, super cool stuff!

*Edit
Oooooo, didn't see the last page with the accident. Were you okay? Sorry man.

I was just going to comment that its nice to see these cars actually get driven. Hope everything works out for you. Take that insurance check to get a 350 & go right back to the track

That's sad that your cars a total lost. But that's awesome that you'll get an FRS! That's what I really wanted, but I settled for the 350.
