Has anyone else thaught about this comparisson? Which one would win in a 0-60 race? stock...

..might be a stupid question but I always have been wondering how the G35 meets up with the IS300...

a 5mt is300 might have a chance over the auto g35.. but otherwise, the G.. barely.. a friend of mine has an e-shift is300 w/ mods to exhaust, intake, and custom wheels.. which boosts it to around 240 hp.. but still feels i'd beat him if we raced. would be an interesting race though.. the is300 has some good power. riding in one caused me to want a sport sedan.

manual is300 = 0-60 in 6.9 enough said

 

This is one of the choices I looked at when first looking. But the styling was too...don't know how to say this...young? It looks like a car for the 18 - 24 year olds and didn't really appeal to me. It was not a serious consideration when compared to the G, A4 and 325. That said I think it is a great car and performance wise in day to day driving I don't think I could really feel the difference.

Sorry to say, but the IS300 looks like an oversized Civic.

nbarrad: I agree with the oversized civic thing..

taydent99: Thanks for the link -- very cool!

Cool i never knew the IS was so .... slow..

No..remember its a version of the toyota corrolla...not the civic...hehehehe

But seriously, 6.1 vs 6.9..hmmm...
yea...

 

I test drove the IS300 back in the spring prior to picking up my G. It feels a little more nimble which is understandable because it's quite a bit smaller.
Off the line, some kid in a Sunfire/Cavalier decided to race me off a light coming off the freeway (clear road). Despite my best efforts in the IS300, I BARELY beat him to the next lights.

The IS is shall we say a bit "underpowered" when compared to the G35 6.1-6.2 vs 6.9, not even a match, and ive been looking but haven't been ableto locate the 0-60 time for the g35s 6MT. i think it might nearly match the coupes 5.8. Well have to see.

 

nice nice... now i feel much better when I see a IS300 on the road.. always wondered how the G would match up to it...

They have the RX330 SUV now, so it's only a matter of time for them to throw that 3.3L motor into the IS. The IS430 will kick our butts hands down. Also, be careful because there are turbocharged IS300's out there...that motor definitely has potential in being boosted.
