Default Got beat by a lexus

Well today driving to a late meeting on the interstate. I get this ricer in a lexus with a body kit on it...figure I can take him..so I punch it going on the on ramp..he catches up way to fast. then on the interstate he got in front of me due to traffic blocking me. So I catch up soon after....we hit 120 mph..my hood was shaking so dam bad. I really hate that. anyways he was pulling on me bad. I couldn't hear a turbo or anything. It was a like 04 lexus something. But how fast are those. Cause I tried catching up and he just pulled on me..pissed me off actually.

It was probably an IS300 with a decent amount of mods. Otherwise there would not be much hope for him against you. The IS350 AWD is much faster than the IS300 of old.

It could also have been an Lexus IS-F come with417hp stock. Igot my ass handed to me a couple of weeks ago. Like everyone is saying the imports are gettingalot faster. Just know that he paid alot more for his car than you paid for yours and yours looks way cooler.

Not a 300, maybe a 350, but I would be more willing to bet on a IS-F if he was pulling on you a lot without FI. I dont know the 350's too well, but I know a 300 wouldnt be anwhere near pulling a GT unless it had FI.

The IS350 isn't a V8.... it's got a 3.5L V6 @ 306 hp and the IS250s have a 2.5L @ 204 hp.

It was probably a modded IS300 if it had the body style like mine. These are getting more and more popular to mod because they take decently to boost and they're getting cheaper to purchase now. Not as exclusive as they used to be
