How fast is IS250?
Well one of the guys at my school got an IS250 brand new for his first car (rich kid). I was wondering if my 03 TL/S will have any chance against it. The only performance mod i have done is Injen CAI, im pretty sure aftermarket mufflers wont really help me lol

You would most likely beat him.
2.5L V6 @ ~200hp
If he has the AWD version, it might be a little closer. He'd probably launch better, but you have the faster car.
You're only 16, so take it easy.

i went to one of my buddy's Lexus Meet with TT SC and IS250, and so on.
Believe me, If they are not modded, even a TLp can take them with ease.
I was trying my TLp against my buddy's stock SC400. We are dead even the whole entire way. The SC can take the IS250 in no time. I sat inside my buddy's car and the IS250 tries so hard but just lick my buddy's SC ballz. If you can put down money, put more but make sure he didn't mod the car.

I was in an RSX-S when I raced one. Started from a roll of 60 and once we started, at about 70 mph, i started walking him over and over again. I know for sure the top end kinda sucks. It was new w/ no LP and honestly i'm not sure if it was a 250 or a 350 since it was dark and I couldn't see the emblems.. but i'm pretty sure the IS 350 would've walked me without any trouble..

The IS250 has 204hp, even the TSX has one more hp than it. The bottom line is, if you can beat a TSX, then there's no reason that u can't beat a stock IS250. IS350, on the other hand, has 102hp more than the IS250....

IS350 Sedan: 3527.4
TL Type-S Sedan: 3558.3
If you load the IS350 with more options/packages, then the weight of it should be around around 3600lbs. On the other hand, the TL-S is loaded already except the option of having the navigation system.

Just bear in mind that many IS350 owners on the Lexus board are running solidly in the 13s, with some low 13 second passes on slightly modded ones.
Back on topic, the IS250 seems to post fairly anemic acceleration times. IMHO, Lexus should have equipped the IS250 with at least 225hp/200lb-ft.....enough to give it some hustle while still being nowhere near as quick as the IS350.
