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.
