Pulled up to a light today and a young guy drives up next to me in what looks to be a brand new red IS300. First light, he takes off...I didn't run him. Waited till the next light aways down, and decided I wasn't gonna sit this time. Light turned green, and I put the pedal to the floor. Had him by a car length when 2-3 shift came...ended up 1 1/2 to 2 lengths by the time the 3-4 shift came. Backed off it at 115, and showed him those oh so pretty taillights and dual tips. This was the first time I have run the car since I picked it up a couple of weeks ago...it was really entertaining. Plus, the fact that he probably paid 2 1/2 to 3 times what I did for less performance. Yeah, I know...it's a Lexus and I've got a Ford...but the SVT reigned supreme in the race... laugh laugh Not sure if it was the Tiptronic or manual trans...he looked to be shifting, but I'm not sure. Anyways...just thought I'd share the highlight of my day with you guys! laugh laugh

Welcome to CEG. Just so you know, street racing stories like the one above aren't welcome or allowed. It'll get locked soon enough.

Nice to hear about how are cars which are a hell of a lot less can perform right up there with the pricey guys. Welcome to the boards!

I ran a 15.2 my first time at the track with my IS300. I'd say that equivalent to the SVT's. A friend of mine that still had his 2000 SVT ran together (it was a long drag strip;) ). From 70 in 3rd gear, through 4th, and well into 5th gear, we were basically even except for shift points. We both had intakes as our only mods.
