I was at an 1/8th mile track. Raced 3 times against an is300 with exhaust only(don't know if it was auto or manual). Beat him every time by at least 1.5 car lengths, at most 2.5. It was my first time at the track too.

Because the 6-speed in the IS 200 could not handle the TORQUE of the I-6.
If u think the 5-speed does nothing for the car you must have driven slushboxes your whole life.
So yes, once again the CL-S will beat the IS 300 but that is about it.

Dude, auto trannies are so good right now, that in a straight-line they are almost now equal to a manual. Manual is for control.
Then the 6-speed CL-S is no faster than the auto according to the mags, so what now?
I guess Lexus figured if u want a fast IS, do it yourslef (till the factory s/c comes out) cause there are many 400+ hp IS 300s walking around.

I do not mag race, but if you take the avg. of em it gives you a general idea. Funny no one mentions the 0-60 in 7 sec the TL-S got in Road & Track.:wackit:
I guess the 6-speed is supposed to get high 5s in the 0-60.

Acura claims what...... .5 sec. increase in 0-100kph (0-62mph). SO.... we do the math, and....
In mags and on net reviews, it's been said that the .5 sec number may be a bit on the conservative side, so it may be even quicker? Who knows.... gotta wait for a 6-spd to hit the track to see.
