So I'm planning on running a friend's IS350. It's all stock and my S only has a 3" cat-back.

How bad is she going to beat me? LOL

and

I'm an AP1, so what speeds should we be starting at for my benefit?

 

you'll lose by about a mile. try racing her in reverse!

 

He might be you, I'd go 45+ in 2nd.

I ran a strong modded AP1 and he gave me a better run then the IS350. Check on YouTube "DCIntegra20" For all the runs. I ran a AP2/AP1 and IS350. You can judge from there?

 

I feel much better now.

 

Don't forget to post vids or at least update this thread very interested on the outcome. Your best chance is a from a roll, I agree with the 45+mph. Those IS350's have some very aggressive gearing, 0-60 in 4.9

 

if you know how to shift properly & quickly, 1st gear 30 mph. you'll be sitting right at 6,500rpm

 

is350's aren't something to be taken lightly.

 

Just let her beat you regardless. Then say, damn, you spanked me, can I spank you in return?

 

I would think that the S shouldn't have a problem against the IS. I raced a buddy's IS350 in a bolt on Type-S before I got installed the k-pro and the 4.7 final drive. He had a passenger and I was alone, and I stayed ahead and pulled slooooooowly to 125 when we let off.

 

close race.
