Default 0-60 time slower to 5.6

why have they lowered the 0-60 time to 5.6 on the lexus.com website? It has been 5.3 for the first 3 years. The vehicle mags have seen even lower numbers... Did the car really get slower? I hope not!

This was discussed before somewhere but some people were saying it's just to make the IS-F look faster.

cold tires, hot day, poor traction, reaction time... a number of reasons can contribute to different 0-60 times. i've seen half-second time differentials from different publications for the same car, so i don't invest too much into those numbers.

Injen Intake / HKS Exhaust / engine spacer
and IS350 was no where near me

anyways, I'm glad u guys are happy

I asked a simple question about the 0-60 time...NOT that you DID buy the slow IS250 version, and him n haw about how slow the IS250/350 is....the 350 definitely is not slow, road n track had it at 0-60 4.9 seconds in 2007. I dynoed 278RWHP with mine with only an aftermarket exhaust, not bad for a naturally aspirated V6.

Maybe you should go back to yur G35 if you so dissatisfied with Lexus, and stop bashing on this site. Now back to my question, if anyone has any accurate info pertaining to it I would appreciate it.
