Actually I'm just giving you shit. I agree that this is a moot comparison...the IS is a front wheel drive (or AWD) sedan well into the mid-high $30k range whereas the V6 Camaro can be picked up in the low $20k's. The SS is a better match based on price, but the cars still aren't comparable.
The IS is rwd, the ES is fwd.

The Camaro V6 is faster than the ES but not the IS(0-60 in 6.3-6.5 for ES, 4.9-5.2 for IS; Camaro 0-60 in 5.8-6.1).

The figure from Lexus of 0-60 in 5.6 is ultra-conservative and inaccurate unless you leave stability control on and drive like an 78 year old.

The IS has never been fwd, the IS350 runs mid-13s and the 1/4 mile and has a lower first gear than the V8 powered 8-speed IS-F(the IS350 has a 6-speed).

The IS350 is the fastest Lexus besides the IS-F and LFA supercar.

I never considered buying the IS350 over my G because the IS just didn't offer near as much tech, was ridiculously over-priced, was boring to drive(doughy steering, rolled too much in corners, brakes felt wooden), and just felt boring... felt almost as if you were driving around town and in a small rwd Camry with alot of power when I test drove one.

You raced a Lexus IS300. There's no IS350's in the middle east.

The IS300 gets like 16/22 mpg and has a 215 hp 3.0 liter Inline 6.(just mentioned mileage because of how horrific it is) The IS350 get's 19/26 mpg and has a 306 hp 3.5 liter V6. The IS350 weighs only a tad more and is much faster.
