So my buddy pulled the trigger on the Lexus - , I was worried he would get a CTS-V then it would be hopless for me

........still, I think the Camaro would edge out the IS-F, at least in a straight line. What do you think?

IS-F

0-60 in 4.8

1/4 mile in 13.2

IS-F

0-60 4.8

1/4 mile in 13.2

Looks like a drivers race, but how much did he pay for it?

Expected Pricing: $57,000

Lol you could get an Hennessy for that price

Check some other sources fow 1/4 mile times. The Stock IS-F is capable of trappping ~114mph, meaning high 12's will be the norm. Stock L99 has it's work cut out for it....

Yea, the IS-F should win...

According to Insideline, the LS3 camaro has the edge by the track numbers. Every other site however has the IS-F in the lead.

The L99 has cut high 12s, which leads me to believe it would be a drivers race.

Driver's race, but the lexus definitely has the upper-hand.

Not really. They both seem to be on average mid-low 13 second cars.

The below are just average test times. Hero runs for the IS-F are much lower....

IS-F:

Motortrend: 12.7 sec @ 113.4
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...fications.html
Car-Driver: 12.7 sec @ 114 mph
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...take_road_test
Road\Track: 12.8 @ 113.3 mph

http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/ca...us_is_f_page_3

Fastest trap speed I have seen for an L99 = 108.7...

Mod UP!

Oh I see. I got like two sources saying like low 13s. Apparently the IS-F is a little quicker.
