Address your issues with your dealer and if they wont' help you, my humble recommendation is go visit your local tuner and have him fix what GM didn't do right from the factory.
BTW that Lexus IS 350 would probably give you a decent run even if your car was running right, much less otherwise. The IS is a nice car, and fairly quick for what it is. I would assume it has several miles on it and is broken in completely...Your car will get quicker guaranteed, as you break it in. JMHO.

Yes her car should run with mine pretty good but theres NO WAY she should beat me like she has. By about 9 car lengths. Not sure how far we raced. (I had a buddy drive hers) but we just picked a point on the abandoned strip. I was doing 120 when we hit the point so it was obviously well over 1/4 mile but I should beat her. We counted to three and got an equal jump.
And 'conditions' such as humidity, weather and such should not affect ANY car to the tune of 1.5 seconds to 60. I'll have my dealer handle the car of course.
I'm not blaming or dogging GM at all for this situation. I get pissed when it rains but doesn't mean it's anyones fault. I just want them to fix it and I'm obviously disapointed.
I just have a problem with having to tune an engine that should be operating better. My fear is that I address the problem from where it is but could get even better performance if it were running right in the first place. If I start from a 4.9 accelaration time then I can finish all the batter after doing some mods later.
