Stock.
What can it do? I tried searching is300.net but couldnt find anything that was recent.
Any ideas?

I dunno about a manual A4 but the CVT 1.8T does the 1/4 mile in 16.3 stock.
A4's are pretty damn slow stock, but a few mods will make them very quick. German mods are pricy though.

Yeah, low 15s. Headers/cat back exhaust/intake can get ya to about 195-200 to the wheels. Stock about 175 I think.
We'll have a track day soon so I can give you numbers from our club. I think high 14s are possible with bolt ons.
But who doesn't FI their IS nowadays.

My bud had one A/T with a SRT intake and some other crap on his IS, his best time was 15.6 in the 1/4. He got rid of it cause he didnt feel it was worth it to invest anymore money. He is currently debating over an SVT cobra or an S4. As for M/T I think lexus claims 14.9 in the 1/4, the best I've seen 15.3.

Well its true the toyota I6 is weak sauce without turbos on it. Most people put i/h/e on their is300s and dyno at about 190hp/190ftlb. (~170hp/170ftlbs stock)
You gotta go FI if you want to make power. If your going that way Honda V6 < Toyota I6

One thing I will say for the IS300, it is built like a fucking tank. Spent yesterday at the Lexus Performance Driving School at California Speedway. There were sixty students in attendance and at the timed autocross, each student got to do (6) practice laps and (1) timed lap. There were (3) cars available to use. This works out to 140 laps per car. They ran and stopped as well at the end of the day as they did at the beginning! I know my CL-S would not lasted the day with this kind of abuse. Also driving 130mph on the two mile oval was a real rush!!!

Were those cars race preped in any way? I'd find it hard to believe if the weren't. Stock tires, BPs, brakes etc., must've been upgraded.

If the one I raced was a MT car and stock, then they are as quick as my stock 01 CLS.

no it doesn't the engines are not the exact same if you want the full conversion you need to put out $$.
The is300 engine is actually 2JZ-GE as compare to the supra which is 2JZ-GTE.

what a 330 going in reverse? No man.....is300 will get the shit kicked out of it. 330 is a low 14 second car and the is300 would be luckly to break 15.0.....

330 is quicker than the IS 300, period.
AS for the Honda V-6 vs the Toyota I-6, yeah, stock the Honda has more power but it can't begin to touch the 2JZ. Period. THat engine is legendary. We are talking 600hp to the wheels with stock internals. That engine is pretty much invincible.
Plus I-6 >V-6.

Like the IS, but too damn small. I'm not too fond of the gauge clustering....too confusing

just wanted to mention that the 330 is a mid-high 14 sec car, not a low 14 sec...I already raced a 330ci and beat his fucking ass; However, he did have an extra passenger and I dont think he could drive too well. Still, I think I could take one again. The IS300 is plenty slower than the 330ci as well as the CL-S.
Not when it comes to modding.
