Lexus ISF vs Modded Lexus IS350 (drag strip video)


Recommended Posts

The IS-F may run mid 12s in perfect conditions and great air, but they're running high 12s, low 13s more times than not. Anytime you see a listed 1/4 mile time for a car that's on a track with good prep, good temp, good da, and an experienced driver.

You see it all the time at the track when guys bring their stock cars expecting to run a time they saw on the Internet only to feel down afterwards. When they don't take all the variables into play.

Stock naturally aspirated cars are affected by weather conditions more than the modded or forced induction ones.

actually mid 12's are pretty standard STOCK and 13's are standard when the driver messes up (or doesn't have much experience). I would probably do 13's with my 300lb system, my 235lb body and my lack of experience. It don't need perfect conditions just needs a driver that knows when to take off and when to shift. Mid 11's are more rare but like i said, headers and a shot of NOS and it isn't so rare any more.

meh. Most cars need a trans worth a shit and a tune and they would be fine.

finding out a quarter mile time took me one truck scale and a horsepower rating to find out....which I took 25% off of the horsepower rating cuz it has 116K on the motor. Was real easy to find out how fast I would go. People need to quit bench racing.

driver is what counts most the time.. you can have 1,500 hp car. if you cant plant that power to the ground you will get beat by a 20 second car..

damn this is worse than politics. Video goes up of two lexus cars duking it out and we got people talking about impalas and corvettes.

seriously lol -

not sure why a full blown fiberglassed 2 door race car is being compared to a car like mine other than

A c4 huh?

Slow.

Ya, but its the right C4. 11.50's @ 120 on a 20 year old motor that still gets nods.... I'll take it. Besides, I don't make baller bank anymore.

I don't live my life a quarter mile at a time. But in those 11 seconds or less nothing matters, I'm free. No wife, no kids, no mortgage.... FREE!!!!!!!!

my car does mid 12's stock and is known to do very low 11's on headers and a small shot of NOS. I know a vette is a fullly fiberglassed body, 2 door race car but face it, most of them except some of the higher end models don't want none of the 4 door. Now only imagine if the IS-F was tunable...which it is not.

but beside the point, who gives a fuck about a vette and what does that have to do with this post? smh.

I agree, all I asked was who one. Cause as a corvette owner I can't tell one Lexus from another or a Toyota. It's just not my thing. My reference to corvettes had nothing to do with performance. You were the one who brought up how they get bitch slapped. I never said anything negative. Shit, I don't care if someone drives a 9 sec yugo or a 20 sec porsche

you came in with your smart ass Toyota comment...and it's true, people like you think your the shit with your cool vette and then sometimes learn the hard way. And if you can't tell the difference between an ISF and a standard toyota you are a true smart ass. You know why i don't like vettes? sure they are fast but they are ugly as fuck (imo). To each their own.

Are you ever going to bring your ISF to the strip Steve?

sounds like fun but i have (again) a 300lb sound system and a 235 lb body....i probably wouldn't do as good as someone who is at the strip every week and serious about it. It would be fun to try a few times but i really am not much into racing. It's fun to hit the NOS though and feel the kick once in a while.
