Ya, I know. I was gonna buy this car regardless. I don't need a car. I just want this car. I just can't have hers being faster. Simple bragging rights.

I'll still have them. Just not by much.

I would be more comfortable going with the 1994, 1995, 1997....those are all very close and consistent, and amazing for a mid 90s car.

Sorry, but I personally wouldn't cherry pick the fastest time I could find and then expect my car to automatically run that with any kind of regularity.

Not all that much slower than the Camaro. :(

I'll have to hide this from Bonnie.

Considering that car has almost exactly the same specs as the V6 camaro, that time is one hell of a fluke. I could see it beating a V6 camaro by a tenth or so, but no way will that thing compare to an SS. Take the lexus to the track and I guarantee you won't break 14.5 with it.

Yeah...I did look up more about the IS 350, it has a slight weight advantage, and is geared significantly shorter than the Camaro (4.08:1 for the Lexus versus 3.27:1 for the Camaro V6). Both tip the scales in favor of the IS 350 marginally over the Camaro....but I would be hard pressed to see that thing hit 13s with any consistency, if at all.

I could be wrong though.
