Granted it's a IS 350 with 303 HP and 277 TQ vs our 268 HP and 248 TQ. The IS 350 is rated on high octane so if we ran the same gas I'm betting we'll gain a few horses. Keep in mind the IS is 50 lbs heavier which is -5HP for that.

Anyhow, notice in the thread his best time to date is 13.53 @ 103.16 mph. Yeah it's rear wheel and launches a little better then us but we should be good for a 14.1-14.5 at about 99-101 MPH depending on the variance in car, weight at the starting line etc. Of course temp, bara, relative humidity and track level in ft. makes a big difference. So if you have good D/A (density altitude) the you'll run quicker and faster. Houston (HRP) in Jan/Feb usually has negative density altitude and the track is sticky has hell! All the NHRA guys usually break records there in practice for the season opener in Pomona. A lot of big super street (10.5 tire) races are around that time too.

One thing I took note to in a RnT article, the author noted our cars felt like it was being held back. Also, the guy with the IS 350 had times quite a bit faster with TC off. This weekend I'm going to disable my TC and see how she launches. The best launches at the track have about 1/2 - 3/4 revolution of spin.

I won't be getting any times soon (Seattle weather) plus the tracks around here won't be any good this time of year (prep.). So in the spring time I'll for sure make it out and see what she does. My brother got a 06 GTO so I may visit the local dyno and track when he does and I'll report back.
Definately keep us updated
