I hate cars

I think most of the time a 335 will win. The particular race I was involved in was my friend not being sure the 335 wanted to race so he hesitated for a split second. It was honestly the closest race I've ever been in. Once the 335 pulled off the start I don't think either car gained or lost an inch to 100mph. Again, this particular IS350 seems to pull very hard compared to others I've read about. Unfortunately we have yet to race another IS to see the difference.

After driving both, I think the 335's top end is stronger but we shut down a little after 100mph.

I guess we will have to prove this. Going to have to race my friends is350 from dig and roll. GOing to have to record this. He just got his is350 couple weeks ago so probably gotta wait till 2k miles to break in. IMO is350 doesn't respond as fast as the 335i. the paddles on the is350 are horrible compared with the 335.

I hate cars

I agree that the paddles are horrible. Next time I take a test drive in a 335, I'll have my friend in the IS350 waiting around the corner for a rematch. For some reason the last time I test drove one the dealer let me and a friend take it by ourselves. I've bugged them for so long now that they're offering me one for 41K.

the transmission is probably one of the weakest part of the IS350, when it is in the right gear, it's pretty fast. But over 100mph, even the G35 is faster.

^ i doubt it. g35 and 350z has no torque for a car their size. they weigh just as much as a TL

^ I meant to say the G35 is faster once over 100mph than the IS350...

ill take the 07 350z 6-speed n run any stock 335 out there..auto or manual...the beemers goin down..but the Zs also 2 door coupe
no power/torque for their size is a mustang GT...31- hp out of a v8 and the car is a sled..nissan/lexus have made the same power with a NATURALLY ASPIRATED 3.5L V6...props to the Japs

I hate cars

I understand what you're saying but the driving experience with the 335 is totally different than the TL, 350 Z, and IS350. The Bimmer is extremely torquey with power anywhere on the tach. In an all out acceleration match, who knows but for normal driving the 335 moves around effortlessly. I think the reason for the turbos is power under the curve. The M3 is for people who want all out performance.

1.7???

6SpdTerror

I believe it. Ive beaten so many cars that i shouldnt have and i can attribute it to 2 things...............im a good driver and i have a 6MT. My cousin and one of my friends both have auto TLs and i put lenghts on them everytime we run. Auto TLs are slow.......for the 6MT guys, u should know what im talking about. That manual transmission makes a world of a difference!

Soseductivesf

Stop.... I have an auto. you're gonna make me do the 6sp swap

type-s09

yes you are correct here sir...i wanna run another TL 6mt so i can prove how much good driving matters...comin to alabama netime soon? lol

6SpdTerror

lol. I hear ya. Im dying to run another 6mt just to see the outcome of a driver's race. My financial advisor and one of my good friends (whom is a cop) both have 6MTs. Both are down for the run but we never get around to it!

I hate cars

I want to run a well driven 6mt with my auto to see how bad it hurts my feelings lol. I might be in the Mobile area since that's where all my family is. How far is that from Birmingham?

Danielsc400

Wow, pretty good but I have to say a good driver would have beaten you. Some stock 350's are running 13.3's.. Exhaust mods put's her into the 12's.

There is ONE IS350 on clublexus that got into the 12's. Temperature, track conditions etc were all aligned for that anamoly. And it hasn't been reproduced again by the same car/driver. You make it sound like you can throw a Tanabe catback on any IS350 and hit the track and bag a 12 second time slip; not the case.

types09 weren't you supercharged the last time we spoke?

He is now. This thread is almost a year old.

phee

iTrader: (5)

ill vouch for the OP. i know he can drive, and his shit is FAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. i thought you were supercharged though?

phee

iTrader: (5)

ahh shit. why the hell did anyone revive this thread? i feel like an ass for not checking the date. thanks

Soseductivesf

^Another version of Manual Transmission?

nova_G

So from what I've read, most people here don't think " type-s09's " supercharged tl stood a chance against that is350?

I hate cars

From what I remember, type-s09 is a great driver and hit 13.9 either stock or very few mods. With him behind the wheel and a blower, he definately has a chance of beating an IS350.

I'm gonna say the 6spd s/c tl is gonna beat the is350.

Danielsc400

type s09, your car is set up nicely! I wouldn't be suprised if you take down a 335! So how'd you get your SC to work on a type s?

iforyou

iTrader: (1)

^ he doesn't have a type s, it's only a TL 6MT.

Danielsc400

it says type s09 on his avatar???

erick3

^ yup but he's an 06 6MT
