If the IS-F driver at all goofs on the launch, the IS350 can easily beat the IS-F in the 1/8th mile. Here is a vid from awhile back racing my friend in his IS350. Watch around the 2:40 mark to see just how close of a race it can be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFTj5WpVICY

LOL, our IS-F would have to be the most babied "F" out there, I think it only gets to go over 40mph once a month. And to all those people who ask how many times you heard the rev limiter beep, I ask you if you can count the amount of times you hear the second air intake open? My wife sure can... That b/c she never gets over 3000rpm!!!

Nice time! Curious if you could add a few details so I can compare notes since my trap speed is way off compared to yours.

Track temp?
What tires?
Tire pressure changed?
Anything removed from car?
How much fuel?
what fuel (some guys say stock but add a dab of 100 octane)

all my runs were between 5-7pm so it was still pretty hot. I have stock tires, with stock air pressure, and just the spare tire and jack removed from the car. I was running on empty the first 3 runs and below 1/4 on my next 3 runs. I was using 91 octane. After my first pass my traps went down to about 85-86mph. I ran an 8.3, 2 8.4's, 2 8.5's and a 9.9.
