not sure if this is the right section for this question, but 08 is350 stock vs 08 350z... which is faster?

 

RSX takes the win.

 

The one with the better driver...

Try racing one and find out.

 

IS 350 is neck snapping faster than HR Z... No COmments on how i know . Dont even waste your time if your thinking you can take him

 

 

seems like it'd be the better driver.

 

You shouldn't bench race. It's against the law.

 

Taking a shot in the dark here, but maybe you meant IS-F?

IS 350????? Been there done that

 

No im talking the IS 350 .My Brother has one and we've you know i cant say it on the forum i might get banned

I drove his car and visa versa every time that car walked my 07 HR Z.. BTW stock times for IS 350 are 4.8 seconds. Its a fast ****ing car does'nt look it but its like i said neck snapping fast.. He has a first year production model dunno if its a fluke but damn im impressed

 

^^ 4.8? what do u mean? 0-60? if so, please dont go by that, 1/4 mile times is what you gotta pay attention to

 

Well if you're quoting a time from a publication, then I'm going to have to retort and claim that Lexus says 5.6 sec. (confirmed via website). Is your Z a 6MT or 5AT?

MY Z is an auto..I've also driven a 6MT G35 coupe also against the car and the Lexus beat me.. Yes i know how to shift btw...
Check Road and Track its listed 4.9 sec..
I've seen 4.8 on another magazine just cant remember it rite now.

 

Yeah off course i know that.. Im just saying IS 350 will beat definalty beat a stock G & Z and perhaps the G37 in a benchrace ..
The Lexus IS may not look like fast car but watch out for a 350 on the badge they are bad ***

 

There aren't any G35 Coupe HR, so it isn't a fair comparison. The 5AT HR is simply outgunned by an IS350. It puts down similar if not more WHP, and definitely more torque, it "out-torques" a 6MT HR, too. Add in the fact that the IS350 has a 4.083 rear final drive, and you pretty much take the 5AT HR down to a single advantage, its lighter curb weight. The weight difference isn't substantial enough to offset the gearing and power disadvantage.

TK i got you brother im just saying that plain ol looking Lexus is not something to be under estimated
MY brother maybe he broke this car in right, power wise impresses me everytime i get behind the wheel off it... Neck Snapping fast as i said before

 

Personally I think it's a pretty aggressive looking sedan with a superb engine and transmission. Just irks me that it doesn't come in a manual. The HR engines really should have been mated to a 4.08 on the 6MT, and the very least a 3.7 on the 5AT. I suspect a 5AT HR, with a 4.08 rear, would give the IS350 one hell of a run, if not beating it.

just check 1/4 mile times, ive seen videos of them run as low as a 13.3 but thats only one vid most are high 13s low 14s. its auto so its not that hard to drive down a track. HR Zs on this forum have gone as low as 13.1s (with clutch issues) some 13.2s 13.3s. IS350s are nothing to really worry about if you know how to drive a manual, many people think they're amazing drivers and then go to the track and find out otherwise. its a nice car tho

 

I almost got one of those, but the lack of MT held me back. The auto doesn't give a very fun driving experience, kinda boring. But those things r fast.

 

damn hes quick...6 minutes after the OP posts lol
