yea i have infiniti g35 05 my friend has lexus is350 05. We raced and we were the same until his third gear kicked in and he zoomed ahead. I have my car in automatic so i only had five gears. His is was in automatic but had six gears. After we traded cars and IS is very smooth and handles alot of horsepower classy. But its too soft of a race car in my opinion. Still love my g35

all the questions will be answered tomarrow, when i race my cousins IS350 at the drag strip, make sure to check the drag sections for the video. I have intake exhaust, he has exhaust. I consider myself better than average driver.
We have done some highway runs with him (40-90) and second gear is the only gear that he pulls about a car, then it stays even till 90.

I'll definately be looking forward to this, even if the IS takes the cake. I'm suprised I don't see more of those out on the streets. Why arn't they as popular? They're nice cars!

LOL, yeah... some bigger injectors, that'll do it...

Its just too luxorious, almost has no character, no steering feel. Its a nice car for someone who doesn't care about the car's feel.

Too much cash; 335i is about the same price and has way more status IMHO.

I was debating on the IS ro the G35, i stayed with the G because of the price. I feel the IS's are a lil over priced...

is350 has done 0-60 in 5.1 sec in car and driver test, thats faster than any 350z 0-60 time Ive come accross. its a drivers race, the new 07 G sedan also got around the same 0-60 in their test i think...

My uncle has an IS350 and wants to take our cars to the track. I drove it around and talk about quiet power. That thing pulls oh so elegantly. hehe Cant wait to race him to see how our cars do..... I think I have an advantage over him with my G though

the 335i starts at $40k, the IS350 $36 for the base models. Pretty big diff there.
