haha.... you think an IS350 is faster than the S4??? wtf!?!?!?!? and then shaving off 1.5 seconds by swapping tires, and IHE? I'm an ex IS owner and love the car but I know its limits... Anyways, I personally think you're delusional.

If you want the IS350 then just sell your car and go get it... its not like anyone here didn't know the IS350 was a nicer car than the xB, thanks for the heads up though!

i never really understood the whole.... speed factor.. is it THAT great? personally.. i think going touge, driving down twisting roads, drifting, and gymkhana is a lot more fun than slamming the gas pedal.. :shrug: well have fun with the IS if you ever get it.

Having driven my friends amg, its kind of sucks. 4 seconds, boom your at 60. Then the speedo has about another 3/4 to go to 210mph. Yeah, like you will ever see the needle over there.

My freind likes it as its a status symbol, but 12mpg would get old fast and at that preminum fuel.

I like a car with a nice throatie sound and well matched gearing to whine throughthe twisties. Man, kind of miss my xa with the manual tranny and strup muffler and weapon r header.
