wow i have a buddy that has an ion redline and its stick and i whoop him with my 2001 is300 and mine is sport shift auto with a k&n flpk cold air intake. i think saturn is weak
well the ion comes stock with "underrated 205 hp" but i guess some claim 212 -220. the is300 comes stock with 215hp and 218ft/lb. Then again its a N/a 2jz...so once forced inducted...its then just a 4 door supra... whats the curb weight on one of those ions anyway...they are pretty nice cars.
You also have to think about the car...Most of the IS300s are autos and with those mods usually run (from what I've seen anyway) 15.5-15.6. I have a manual IS300 and run a consistent 14.5@95 with just an intake, cat-back and cam gear and I have ran a 14.4@96. After I get my Mazzuri Super I should be running a 14.2 at close to 98mph.
Not saying that'll beat the redline BUT being a second in a half fast makes a huge difference. What are you running in yours?

yeah at just 3000lbs the ion has a really good power to weight ratio.
