are those specs for the IS350 not the IS250? 6 cyl rwd 204hp 185 lb/tq. I think the IS have a little more of an edge since of the RWD layout and it has a little bit more tq than we do. Plus depends on the driver. I think the IS might be slightly faster from a stand still. But i think its pretty even if on a roll. My friend has an IS250, maybe we should do a test lol...nah

although the is250 is a v6 and RWD, it is really not that fast. I know for sure that civic si's can beat it easily. That being said, our cars cannot beat civic si's either.... but automags have clocked our quarter mile times from 15.0, to 15.5, and up to 16.0 for the A/T. Civic si's run consistently in the low 15's or high 14's iirc.

Our tsx's are pretty similar to the 2.0t A4 in quarter mile though.

The New A4's with the 2.0 Turbo's will smoke our TSX's.. they bumbed the torque on them and they are 1/4 15 seconds quater mile where the TSX is like 16.2.. Thats more then one second, and a second is pretty much getting SMOKED!

IS250 beats it by 1 car length

A4 beats it by about 2

Just speculating...

The new A4's move for a 4 cylinder, I would NEVER BUY one but I would Lease one so it is under warrenty the whole time I have it. My friend just leased one and it was about $100 more a month then my TSX with the same amount down BUT he did not even get the LED's they gave him one w/o that package ..DUMB... I think the LED's make the front of that car so much more attractive... I drove it the other day and I must say it IS alot quicker then my TSX, at least it feels that way.. It will deffinatly take the TSX in a strait line or even around a track.. I never drove the IS250 though so I can't say which one is quicker!
