You can get a used 350 for as much as a new Corolla, so its not about who got more money. Pretty much any bum on the road with a new car could afford a 350 (new or used) if they so choose.

All these talk about money and who got the more expensive car or the better car is really destructive to the community.
agreed...ive never met a 350 owner on the street that wanted to "race" me....most of them are a different type of crowd than your typical riceboy honda with a fart can that wants to race everything with rims they see.....i have another car thats much faster than my is250...and still love my IS...

Thanks, Laobo! Long time as well, hope you have been doing well. Life's been busy, but I've picked up a new ride. The 250 will still be doing the daily duty but now that my weekend joy rides have gotten much more interesting

Even a GSR will put it to shame just saying even on the streets.
i never want race nobody car but if anyone race with me then i will.why they laught at me when rev 2.5 L?if they afforded 44k on a car then they can laugh or just hater .

Why do you care what they think? So what if they want to race? You drive a Lexus for god sakes, Lexus is the epitome of luxury. Not hp and who can rev and race on streets. You want to race, buy a race car.

If you care enough to think about how much their car cost or if they are hating, I get the feeling you bought the car for the badge. There will always be bigger fishes out there. You get a 350, someone will have an ISF. You get ISF, someone will have a Lambo. Fact of life.

Don;t want to burst your bubble but if you think you'll win any race with your 8sec car you're wrong, A half priced honda Si would smoke you. Just saying you don;t get to play with BMW and the big boys.

Lets all remember driving is a PRIVLEDGE and not a RIGHT. if you want to race, take it to a track, there is no point in endangering other peoples lives all because you want to be "brave" and weave through traffic. I personally would be beyond pissed if I got hit by two douche bags who thought they're bad *** flying down the road. I would be even more pissed that they are endangering my family. Theres a thing called the "speed limit" and by no means do you have to be exact with it or under it, but that definitely doesn't give you the right to go as fast as you damn well please.

vboi, you sir need to re-evaluate the way you drive and your mentality about driving.

Why would they laugh at you when you rev the 2.5? Because you will lose in a race to most cars. 0-60 in 8ish seconds (for AWD) is slow. But then again, thats not the purpose of the car

Yes you did. You said you would race any local 350

Im not trying to insult you or anything (but you obviously think I am for some reason) but you say your not stupid and you would race whoever you want. Then you say that you dont want to race anybody and that the 350 is not faster than the 250. How in the world is that possible? Both cars are basically the same except for the 350 having 100 more hp. How are they equally fast?

It's obvious that this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. He's just trolling around. I wouldn;t be surprised to see him saying now that he never said is250 is faster than is350.

vboi4life put down the cup of Fast 6 cool-aid please. Every time the Fast And Furious move comes out, so do the street racers for about 90 days.

This is a community, a well mannered one, please do not act childish, immature and down play others vehicles and choices.

Your warned and next time you will be suspended before being banned.

Have a Great Day. Don't hurt anyone out there "racing".
