@Viperfet, hey cute Viperboy, it's 4.7 sec. If it was 5.35 the Infiniti G35 would have been 6.8 seconds and Acura TL at 7.3 seconds, roughly speaking.
@shkv40 Hey cute Shkv40 boy, when did you start the stopwatch? I did the same with one and I was getting 5.35 +/-. No hating, just want to know, I started SW when rpms passed Idle +- 1000rpms
@Viperfet, Viper cute chick, it was the ACCELEROMETER that was used, not the lame "stopwatch" the typical youtube kids rely on. You can't rely on the instrumental gauges to time it. The time is measured when the car actually moves via G-force. Watch the next video that shows the time.
@TheUtube4ever thats because all the torque pushes all the gasoline to the back of the tank, which will trigger to read as low fuel, im sure once it stabled it turned off
@BSAcamper2009, it's a Japanese pop from Yuki. Her voice is cute and unique, making the jpop music one of the kinds. It did not affect my concentration when I ran the 0-60's. The music helped my adrenalin going so this is good. If you don't like this music, I'll try to play something else when I run my '11 F-Sport IS350 I have now.
@tkdman360, it's unlikely to see grandma driving an IS350 as this is man's car (and women who like speed). Grandma's are likely seen in cars like cadillac, lincoln, and such. but yeah, i agree, this car is meant to be driven hard.
I would've agreed with you 5 years ago, but these days, Lexus (with the exception of the IS350 and the IS-F) has become the new grandma car. Cadillacs are quickly becoming competitive with the Germans and are no longer old people cars since they're getting rid of the Grandpa car DTS's and STS's.
@tkdman360 the thing is when you own a lexus, you understand what its capable of and take advantage of its luxury qualities. Im 21 and i drive my lexus like grandmas , cause im confident in my ride. Only when i feel the need for speed i will hit the canyons and speed on the freeway
@Primer9 Thats exactly what i do,i have a BMW 540i and i dont need to proove to people that its fast by speeding,i cruise control it at the max speed limit and haters always tail gate me.
@rrfa5cy, so what? who cares? IS-F styling is overly done, excessive. Where in the public will be rolling from 80~ 170 mph? 110~ 120 mph is an idea. Yes, IS-F is fast but I look for things more than just speed. I got an IS350 F Sport now and it blows the doors off IS-F in terms of styling.
@Euphorica, you are a fag. If this Lexus took 6 sec, the BMW 335i would have taken 6.5 sec. G37 @ 6.7 sec. Basically, add 1.5 sec on all cars. You are a fag.
Buddy, I have a car now that blows all these cars (Porsche 911). I have done my research and considering all the cars you mentioned for my daily driver. Trust me, the IS350 will beat them all and with grace.
@BearsDkills, maybe the guy in the IS350 wasn't racing. He was just driving like normal and you thought he was racing. I see that happen a lot on the street. From dig, if he was serious, and had traction control off, and know how to push the IS to the limit, you would see completely the opposite result. You should be thankful that you got lost by just 2+ car lengths.
@Euphorica, I see you got mean to me and decided to remove your own post. Let me quote what u said "really? lol did you hear the music your listening to? you dont have a foot to stand on. go back to fapping to your bs rice boy 0-60 times. clown" - what's music got to do with 0-60 take off? Even if I had music off, my 0-60 wouldn't have been affected. Japanese music is cute and cool. You should listen to it. I love it. And i'm not rice boy, I'm a handsome looking gentleman.
@shkv40 really? lol did you hear the music your listening to? you dont have a leg to stand on. go back to fapping to your bs rice boy 0-60 times. clown
@jaex26, I really like the exterior design of the 370z but I'm having hard time accepting the steering wheel. The dash isn't too bad looking but is it soft to the touch? I don't want hard plastic... I do love manual transmission it provides though and speed..
@shkv40 get the 370Z! my cousin just got a 135i, i have driven it its just as good as the 370Z however his car has had so many problems with it in the last 6 months its crazy!
@sebasmondoux666, sorry for the late reply. It's an accelerometer called Vector FX1 from Beltronics. The accuracy is as good as the G Tech Pro SS. Both devices are said to be only off by within 0.1 sec compare to the drag light. I got rid of my car though cause I've got a brand new house. I'm planning to get me a nice car again maybe in 3 months or so.
The Infiniti G37 is faster, even an old 2007-2008 G35 sedan catches up and passes the IS350 at higher speeds(about 120 mph)... the BMW 335i is faster than both the G37 and the IS350 though...
@98MAzdaMilleniaS, faster in what? from dig or roll? From dig IS350 is still faster than the G37 7-spd auto. From roll at high speeds it's a different story. The older version of G37 is no faster than the 2nd gen G35. It's actually, slower, heavy and poor gearing.
@98MAzdaMilleniaS, you don't need to correct me. Are you having trouble comprehending what I said earlier? I clearly said older version G37 is no faster than the 2nd gen G35, it's actually slower. No need to repeat the same content twice.
@proudsubaruwrxowner, standard as in package or performance? For package, it's a Sport Package. It's not modded, bone stock. Sport package come with a nice high quality finish sport pedals. They look gorgeous.
@dibsoniitti, that would be good idea. I know that people in Korea buy cars from U.S. and bring them over to their country too. It's cheaper that way. I noticed IS350 is not available in many countries except US, Canada, and maybe few more..
By the way...Magazine's are paid advertiser's. For insurance purposes most technical data can be "Non-certified", but still printed for informational purposes. You can bet all new cars from Ford Chevy and the rest fudge up to protect the insurance rate's for their car's. Anyone the stoplight races knows that's where the fun begins. We just have find out what these car's are really capable of.
Yes it's true........I own a 06 IS350 and stock with new tires and VDIM off I can quite regularly get 13.4 to 13.8's in the 1.4 mile and 4.6's 0-60. Period!! With all the mods I have a friend who pulls down 4.3's to 4.6's and 13.0 to 13.5 in the 1.4. Simply put it's the most efficiently factory max tuned V6 ever produced. Granted you can spend alot of money and only gain about a half second but that will let you kill so many more cars at stoplight's. Vette's anyone?
@Vandekamps01 Um, no. The lexus V6 is efficient and powerful but the reason why these cars are quick is mostly the gearing. It is fairly low. Nissan makes a V6 that's 350hp, versus 306 in the Lexus, and Nissan's isn't even direct injected, if it was, it would be 370+...
@WcSoccer13, wow cool, congrats for getting a new car. I'm sure you will love it. Well the interior of the car is pretty quiet so I can't hear exhaust noise much. I just love its refinement. Yea my corporate manager told me I have a chick car... the other guy online told me it looks like an egg.. lol. what color are you getting? Mine is black w/ tan interior..
@WcSoccer13, oh and be sure to get the one equipped with Sport package. It comes with sport tuned suspension and stiffer shocks. Also the front end comes 1/2" lower. And are you getting Mark Levinson stereo system? it's a nice touch, very good sound. Mine doesn't have it though. :(
@WcSoccer13, it's the same. The max it will allow you is 6500+ rpm, 64xx rpm if you are in ECT Power mode. And never manually use the paddle shifter (or the shifter nob) to shift the gears as there is too much delay. Set it to Auto and let the computer do the job of acceleration as it knows exactly when to shift.
I have a 2010 IS350c. Drive one...they are this fast from the showroom floor. The reason this and any car runs faster in the cool weather is that with cold air, you get more air-fuel mixture into the engine.
@FlyingStuff, I know you hate hearing this but, it's stock, 100% stock down to the filter.. and no weight reduction either, everything (spare and jack) was intact.
1. NO, and I mean no car tester got such a low number. R&T, C&D, Motortrend, Edmunds... None got anything close under 5 seconds.
2. At 4.72 0-60 sec you would imagine the tires would at least chirp from the dig. Unless of course you're going downhill.
I'm not here to flame or call you a liar but I hope you understand that by using reason and evidence already out there, these numbers prove to be very unlikely for an IS350 to achieve.
R&T (Road&Track) already has 4.9 sec out of IS350 on a nice hot day on their track. C&D may have gotten much worse numbers because the car tested was around 2005-2006, those cars require paddle dance to de-activate the traction control & VSC. Edmunds is known for obtaining poor numbers on fast vehicles and good numbers on slow vehicles and that site is also completely biased. R&T so far is the most reputable and neutral site. Don't rely on mag times too much to compare other drivers
And no, the tires don't have to be chirped to get better numbers. It's was the perfect balance between power and without wheel spin. It just shows how much power there is in the IS350's. Thanks to its short gearing and power curve. If I was going down hill I would be getting around 4.0~ 3.8 sec.
@c0nv1ct1337 The issue with your statement is that they clearly indicate that you haven't even LOOKED at the numbers of the sources you're claiming to cite. R&T didn't get close to under 5 seconds? Wrong, they clocked 4.9 seconds for the IS350 in 90 degree weather no less. C&D didn't get close to under 5 seconds? WRONG, and I quote "You won't be working too hard to repeat our 5.1 second 0 to 60 time" from C&D.
@c0nv1ct1337 And no offense, but I'm very hesitant on taking anything you say seriously in the future given the fact that you've clearly proven that you actually don't even bother to look up the actual numbers. When you claim R&T hasn't "got[ten] anything close [to] under 5 seconds" when in fact R&T did get...under 5 seconds, well, you can imagine how ridiculous it makes you look right about now. You did not even bother to look at the R&T data, you just pulled that assertion out of your ass.
Now if you know anything about cars, getting under 5.0 while being already at 5.1 is not actually close. As for R&T, I looked at their road data sheet and accidentally took their convertible as the normal model. Way to write two paragraphs for absolutely no reason.
@c0nv1ct1337 Problem solved then, I suppose. R&T measured 4.9, and that clearly falsifies your initial claim that no magazine has measured under 5 for this car. Furthermore, if you knew anything about cars, you'd realize that it's the 4.08 final drive axle ratio coupled with the 316 horsepower at the crank that allows the IS350 to get to 60 in under 5. And yes, it's rated at 316 from the factory, not 306.
@c0nv1ct1337 I'm just a little taken aback by your obvious misunderstanding or non-consideration of gear ratios in vehicles when trying to assess performance. It's a bit of an amateurish mistake, but hopefully you'll know better in the future. Performance, especially 0 to 60 performance, is a function of multiple variables, not just horsepower.
Are you serious? You didn't just go there especially with the absurd claim of me not understanding/considering gear ratios. Frankly, it looks like your purpose now is to be an absolute annoyance because you continue your useless blabber on youtube thinking anyone cares. Go troll somewhere else buddy. Don't expect me to reply to your next two useless paragraphs.
@c0nv1ct1337, dcx1287 is right and you are wrong. He has done plenty of research on IS350's and what they are truly capable of. He also owns one knows exactly what he is talking about. And he's not a troll.. he's exactly the opposite of that. You on the other hand got over-reacted and trolling now. Please stop it .
I am wrong about what? You told me your part of the debate and I agreed. Did you see me further argue against you? No, you didn't so why the fck are you still blabbering? He is trolling because he is making false assumption about me. Not to mention the fact I am clearly showing my lack of interest in talking to him yet he continues to talk. Oh and now you have the balls to tell me to stop? Stop making accusations when I made it pretty clear I am done here. Stop pulling stuff out of your ass.
@c0nv1ct1337, and personal attacks and cursing isn't encouraged in my videos. I'm more strict than others so you have the need for using profanity and taking stuff out of butts please go to the other videos and spew. This is unacceptable and if you continue to blabber in such manner I'm sorry but I will have to delete / block those messages. Thanks for your cooperation.
He made a wrong assumption about you so that's called trolling? what about you? You made wrong assumptions to begin with, without checking the sources carefully. It's the ignorant and presumptuous people like you is what got him irritated. And from what I can tell he did not make wrong assumption about you because you indeed made wrong assumption about the IS350. If not, you wouldn't say such thing about how it can't get to high 4's 0-60 going downhill and require tire chirping.
I didn't make an assumption. I misinterpreted a fact from a direct source. Two different things.
I also directly stated what assumption he made against me twice in my previous posts. If you fail at seeing that, well that's your problem.
But then, wait a minute. What are you his lover? Why are you arguing for him? Jesus christ, I know I was pretty hypocritical and kept answering back but there is nothing to come back anymore. Bunch of butthurt idiots wanting to argue on youtube. Bye
@gnn713, it's "Nagai Yume" by Yuki. She's Japanese and very cute and has cute voice. You should be able to find the mp3 of it pretty easily in the google search. cheers:)
@hanaimer, it's good till about 120. According to R&T test data IS350 takes you from 0-100 in 12.7 sec and 15.4 sec@ 110 mph. BMW 335i does it in 15.6 sec@ 110. Just to give you an idea.
After 120 it runs out of breath some due to taller gearing on the last three gears (4th, 5th, & 6th). This is where 2nd gen Infiniti G35 and 335i will start walking.
IS350 is designed for 0-60 and quarter mile applications.
that comes out to around 86367 miles hmm. Lexus is well known for build quality and reliability. With that mileage it should be no problem at all unless the previous owner(s) on that car abused (accidents) it or / and didn't do proper maintenance (oil change). I didn't have good luck with buying used cars as they all gone through some sort of accidents, me no luck. Other than that, Lexus IS350 is a very reliable car.
If I was really going downhill I would be getting 4 sec flat if not 3.8 sec 0-60. Man you are so ignorant. Any more crap of your post here you will be removed, very quickly.
oh i do appologise sir...... all i thought was.... its ment to do 0 - 60 5+ sec so downhill 4.7 doesnt sound to bad to me..... but yeah yu can be a japseye and remove me if ya want i couldnt realy give a shit i just wanted to see if the is350 was quicker than my m3 saloon and i dnt think it is
No I am not, however, I think that if I were trying to make derogatory comments in response to someone's video I would learn how to spell, or I would at least try to write using correct English.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, "hu" is spelled w-h-o. Just for future reference.
dustin did fine, and I actually enjoyed his comments. He did that because mayweatherrulz was talking shit. Plus his spelling and grammar were terrible anyways so why not correct em? It's better to write proper English than crappy English anyway...Don't take it personal what he said.
Thanks. The point I was making was if he wanted to make a contradictory comment, which he had all the right in the world to do, he needed to do it intelligently and with correct grammar. The fact that TheLBCSublime took it on his or her own to call me a moron is just superfluous. I never make comments on videos, however, mayweatherrulz's grammar was so terrible that I wanted to correct it. Where's the crime in that? Like shkv40 said, don't take it personal. There was no offense intended.
well of course the car (any cars) will perform better with lower amount of gas which is why it was done that way. I had approx. 1/8 tank of gas. Nobody in the review mags test cars with full tank of gas.....
are u blind? I said it was completely stock down to the filter.. meaning everything was factory stock, yup, stock tires too. The only thing I removed was the heavy duty floor mats and an owner's manual, that's it. Your car didn't go as fast maybe because one or all of the following:
- warmer weather (higher DA)
- you didn't launch hard
- you got extra weight in your car
- your tire pressure was too low
- your engine is worn out or has dirty injectors/ valve lines/ air filter, etc.
the red/orange ring that lights up in the tach gauage is for RPM i think.. notice it lights up when it got past 5000 rpm. Shifted to next gear and put you back just above 5k rpm and the orange light stays on.
Thestrawhead: Thanx for the feedback and response! I must say that I'm a bit jealous that u have a 350 :). I live in sweden, and them swedish bastards dont sell 350.s cus them swedish bastards dont belive in cars like lexus/infiniti, specially the top models: I asked a lexus dealer why, he said: cus we know for sure we wouldnt sell any in sweden, and we dont import either cus it cost to much and lexus here do not support any service or guarantee for the 350. I'm like: wtf??? :)
As an IS350 owner, I totally believe 4.7 with the TCS off. Would have never believed it from a Lexus. I don't think it gets its props because of the looks maybe not being as nice as the G35 or the 335, or the "Lexus luxury/quality-but-not-fun" label. I just really enjoyed my buddy's face when I ran dead even with him up to 90mph in his 09 370Z. Ok. you could slide a fingernail between his front bumper and mine. He knew that when he bought it. 370's are really nice cars, but mine is a 4 door!
I don't quite get it either. I have an 06 350 and could not get over how quick it was when I test drove it. I'm not an inexperienced douche either. I drove a G37, 335i, and Mustang GT, the day we bought ours.The 408 gears may have something to do with it. But if you know how to get the traction control off for real, it is just faster, even with less hp than the g37. Car and Driver and R/T both still have it quicker with the TCS "on "than the G37 and even with the 370Z.
mikealanzo, hp itsself doesn't give you the final number. What's making the IS350 go faster is due to excellent gearing, which is designed for both 0-60 and quarter mile. IS350 has 306hp@ 6400 rpm & 277 lb-ft torque@ 4800 rpm. It is the gearing makes this car to either keep up or beat other cars that are either lighter or has more power than the IS350.
well, yeah, but still, how fast can someone shift gears that's a whole secund fatser than what lexus says 0-60? Lexus says the 350 does 0-60 in 5.6 sec, but in this vid it does 4.7..... are we talking DSG shifting, but manual stick? :)
First of all, Lexus provides very conservative number. And IIRC, that's without manipulating the TRAC / VSC setting. With the VSC on, the car can only do 5.2~ 5.3 sec. Also, Lexus brochure higher the number from 5.3 to 5.6 sec to help further differentiate from the IS-F. It's all marketing. And what the hell is all with manual shifting or DSG on the IS350??? It does not have manual and does not have DSG, it only comes in AUTOMATIC.
It was done on a flat, leveled road. if my camera (cannon A300) allowed longer than 30 sec (640x480 setting) of recording time I would have shown you the road as well. You just jealous because you either a). drive a G35/37 and can't get 4.7 sec stock or b). don't like to see IS350 getting good acceleration numbers. You are jealous.
Not really and no i would never drive an infinity or any japanese car for that matter I drive a C63. As for the video im not jealous of your 0-60 i just think this was done downhill because its very hard to get 4.7 secs with a car that does mostly 5 secs 0-60 but anyways congratulations im glad to see you can pull numbers close to the IS-F in a much cheaper car
you mean you "meant" to say you "thought", not think...cause I already told you I ran it on a leveled road as why would I test it on a downhill for. If I were to run it in downhill I would have gotten in the low 4's, probably 4.2 or 4.3 sec.
What you are not understanding, or realizing is that running in the cooler/cold weather improves performance. If I were to run it in hot weather and with braketorque I would likely get 4.9~ 5 sec. Juice14 got 4.9 sec stock in 80+F w/ humid weather.
Your absolutely right... I notice a huge difference in performance when it's cold out vs say a 80-90* day. I don't know how much you loose from the heat but, it honestly feels like at least 20 HP... In my car anyway. If the magazines can get this IS350 to 60 in 4.9 I definitely believe you can get a 4.7 out of this car. It did run 104 in the 1/4 mile in that particular magazine so, the power is there for it.
And I would never drive a Mercedes... no im not against German cars as I just got a Porsche 911 turbo, but I also have a is350. The IS350 can do under 5 seconds just not on a hot day... and ad for by cheaper cars i find it stupid people make price relevant when considering simply performance... if u want brute straight line a civic with a turbo can beat many cars, but sure itll have insane torque steer haha

@BearsDkills, maybe the guy in the IS350 wasn't racing. He was just driving like normal and you thought he was racing. I see that happen a lot on the street. From dig, if he was serious, and had traction control off, and know how to push the IS to the limit, you would see completely the opposite result. You should be thankful that you got lost by just 2+ car lengths.

Even if I had music off, my 0-60 wouldn't have been affected. Japanese music is cute and cool. You should listen to it. I love it. And i'm not rice boy, I'm a handsome looking gentleman.

@sebasmondoux666, sorry for the late reply. It's an accelerometer called Vector FX1 from Beltronics. The accuracy is as good as the G Tech Pro SS.

The Infiniti G37 is faster, even an old 2007-2008 G35 sedan catches up and passes the IS350 at higher speeds(about 120 mph)... the BMW 335i is faster than both the G37 and the IS350 though...
98MAzdaMilleniaS 1 year ago
@98MAzdaMilleniaS, faster in what? from dig or roll? From dig IS350 is still faster than the G37 7-spd auto. From roll at high speeds it's a different story. The older version of G37 is no faster than the 2nd gen G35. It's actually, slower, heavy and poor gearing.

With all the mods I have a friend who pulls down 4.3's to 4.6's and 13.0 to 13.5 in the 1.4. Simply put it's the most efficiently factory max tuned V6 ever produced. Granted you can spend alot of money and only gain about a half second but that will let you kill so many more cars at stoplight's. Vette's anyone?
Vandekamps01 1 year ago
@Vandekamps01 Um, no. The lexus V6 is efficient and powerful but the reason why these cars are quick is mostly the gearing. It is fairly low. Nissan makes a V6 that's 350hp, versus 306 in the Lexus, and Nissan's isn't even direct injected, if it was, it would be 370+...

WcSoccer13 1 year ago
@WcSoccer13, it's the same. The max it will allow you is 6500+ rpm, 64xx rpm if you are in ECT Power mode. And never manually use the paddle shifter (or the shifter nob) to shift the gears as there is too much delay. Set it to Auto and let the computer do the job of acceleration as it knows exactly when to shift.

kompleti 1 year ago
I have some doubts here.
1. NO, and I mean no car tester got such a low number. R&T, C&D, Motortrend, Edmunds... None got anything close under 5 seconds.
2. At 4.72 0-60 sec you would imagine the tires would at least chirp from the dig. Unless of course you're going downhill.
I'm not here to flame or call you a liar but I hope you understand that by using reason and evidence already out there, these numbers prove to be very unlikely for an IS350 to achieve.
c0nv1ct1337 1 year ago
R&T (Road&Track) already has 4.9 sec out of IS350 on a nice hot day on their track. C&D may have gotten much worse numbers because the car tested was around 2005-2006, those cars require paddle dance to de-activate the traction control & VSC. Edmunds is known for obtaining poor numbers on fast vehicles and good numbers on slow vehicles and that site is also completely biased. R&T so far is the most reputable and neutral site. Don't rely on mag times too much to compare other drivers
shkv40 1 year ago
And no, the tires don't have to be chirped to get better numbers. It's was the perfect balance between power and without wheel spin. It just shows how much power there is in the IS350's. Thanks to its short gearing and power curve. If I was going down hill I would be getting around 4.0~ 3.8 sec.
shkv40 1 year ago
@c0nv1ct1337 The issue with your statement is that they clearly indicate that you haven't even LOOKED at the numbers of the sources you're claiming to cite. R&T didn't get close to under 5 seconds? Wrong, they clocked 4.9 seconds for the IS350 in 90 degree weather no less. C&D didn't get close to under 5 seconds? WRONG, and I quote "You won't be working too hard to repeat our 5.1 second 0 to 60 time" from C&D.
dcx1287 1 year ago
@c0nv1ct1337 And no offense, but I'm very hesitant on taking anything you say seriously in the future given the fact that you've clearly proven that you actually don't even bother to look up the actual numbers. When you claim R&T hasn't "got[ten] anything close [to] under 5 seconds" when in fact R&T did get...under 5 seconds, well, you can imagine how ridiculous it makes you look right about now. You did not even bother to look at the R&T data, you just pulled that assertion out of your ass.
dcx1287 1 year ago
@dcx1287
Now if you know anything about cars, getting under 5.0 while being already at 5.1 is not actually close. As for R&T, I looked at their road data sheet and accidentally took their convertible as the normal model. Way to write two paragraphs for absolutely no reason.
c0nv1ct1337 1 year ago
@c0nv1ct1337 Problem solved then, I suppose. R&T measured 4.9, and that clearly falsifies your initial claim that no magazine has measured under 5 for this car. Furthermore, if you knew anything about cars, you'd realize that it's the 4.08 final drive axle ratio coupled with the 316 horsepower at the crank that allows the IS350 to get to 60 in under 5. And yes, it's rated at 316 from the factory, not 306.
dcx1287 1 year ago
@c0nv1ct1337 I'm just a little taken aback by your obvious misunderstanding or non-consideration of gear ratios in vehicles when trying to assess performance. It's a bit of an amateurish mistake, but hopefully you'll know better in the future. Performance, especially 0 to 60 performance, is a function of multiple variables, not just horsepower.

hanaimer 1 year ago
@hanaimer, it's good till about 120. According to R&T test data IS350 takes you from 0-100 in 12.7 sec and 15.4 sec@ 110 mph. BMW 335i does it in 15.6 sec@ 110. Just to give you an idea.
After 120 it runs out of breath some due to taller gearing on the last three gears (4th, 5th, & 6th). This is where 2nd gen Infiniti G35 and 335i will start walking.
IS350 is designed for 0-60 and quarter mile applications.

- warmer weather (higher DA)
- you didn't launch hard
- you got extra weight in your car
- your tire pressure was too low
- your engine is worn out or has dirty injectors/ valve lines/ air filter, etc.

As an IS350 owner, I totally believe 4.7 with the TCS off. Would have never believed it from a Lexus. I don't think it gets its props because of the looks maybe not being as nice as the G35 or the 335, or the "Lexus luxury/quality-but-not-fun" label. I just really enjoyed my buddy's face when I ran dead even with him up to 90mph in his 09 370Z. Ok. you could slide a fingernail between his front bumper and mine.

I don't quite get it either. I have an 06 350 and could not get over how quick it was when I test drove it. I'm not an inexperienced douche either. I drove a G37, 335i, and Mustang GT, the day we bought ours.The 408 gears may have something to do with it. But if you know how to get the traction control off for real, it is just faster, even with less hp than the g37. Car and Driver and R/T both still have it quicker with the TCS "on "than the G37 and even with the 370Z.
thestrawhead 2 years ago
mikealanzo, hp itsself doesn't give you the final number. What's making the IS350 go faster is due to excellent gearing, which is designed for both 0-60 and quarter mile. IS350 has 306hp@ 6400 rpm & 277 lb-ft torque@ 4800 rpm. It is the gearing makes this car to either keep up or beat other cars that are either lighter or has more power than the IS350.
shkv40 2 years ago
well, yeah, but still, how fast can someone shift gears that's a whole secund fatser than what lexus says 0-60? Lexus says the 350 does 0-60 in 5.6 sec, but in this vid it does 4.7..... are we talking DSG shifting, but manual stick? :)
mikealanzo 2 years ago
First of all, Lexus provides very conservative number. And IIRC, that's without manipulating the TRAC / VSC setting. With the VSC on, the car can only do 5.2~ 5.3 sec. Also, Lexus brochure higher the number from 5.3 to 5.6 sec to help further differentiate from the IS-F. It's all marketing. And what the hell is all with manual shifting or DSG on the IS350??? It does not have manual and does not have DSG, it only comes in AUTOMATIC.

you mean you "meant" to say you "thought", not think...cause I already told you I ran it on a leveled road as why would I test it on a downhill for. If I were to run it in downhill I would have gotten in the low 4's, probably 4.2 or 4.3 sec.
What you are not understanding, or realizing is that running in the cooler/cold weather improves performance. If I were to run it in hot weather and with braketorque I would likely get 4.9~ 5 sec. Juice14 got 4.9 sec stock in 80+F w/ humid weather.

Your absolutely right... I notice a huge difference in performance when it's cold out vs say a 80-90* day. I don't know how much you loose from the heat but, it honestly feels like at least 20 HP... In my car anyway. If the magazines can get this IS350 to 60 in 4.9 I definitely believe you can get a 4.7 out of this car. It did run 104 in the 1/4 mile in that particular magazine so, the power is there for it.

And I would never drive a Mercedes... no im not against German cars as I just got a Porsche 911 turbo, but I also have a is350. The IS350 can do under 5 seconds just not on a hot day... and ad for by cheaper cars i find it stupid people make price relevant when considering simply performance... if u want brute straight line a civic with a turbo can beat many cars, but sure itll have insane torque steer haha
