you'll see that I simply said that it got beat bad in the video. I went as far as to say the 335i had more people in it and that it was probably stock. I even went to say that I'd have gotten the 335i (post 17) if it were available in 2005 when I got my IS350.

I didn't but the IS-F to track against M3s or 135s. I bought it to take me to and from work as my daily driver. If I were to go tracking and I became serious, I'd buy a dedicated race car. It's also a car my wife uses on occasion (hence the auto tranny). It's also a lease so I'm not interested in modifying so I can void my warrantee and break my contract.

Point is, I never came here to talk shit or to argue with you guys. I came here to read about cars and to learn about them.

At this point, I'm not going to defend myself anymore. I don't think I need to. If you choose to continue flaming, flame away. I could care less - I have better things to do.

Look at my posts and read them carefully fanboy. BTW, if you read my post that you linked to, I'm pretty candid and honest in my opinions and observations. I try to post my experiences in a non-biased factual way. I could have posted my vid of IS-F vs. M3 and say I beat the M3 coupe and started some BS but if you READ the post, I carefully go on to explain how he had traction issues and it was his first run and how he even eventually went on to run a 13.1 at 112.

You obviously know NOTHING about drag racing or you're just trying to put down others because of your own insecurities. Numbers are relative to the particular track/day and numbers can only be compared to vehicles that ran that day.

Anyways, have fun bashing other car enthusiasts who are here for education/information. IMO, you're just a silly little boy.

OH, I forgot to mention... I openly posted my results on e90 here also so you guys can read all about it:

i traded a DD 335 for a DD M3. why does that not make sense?

the M3 can barely beat the 135 on a track

I apologize for making it personal. I just didn't like being misquoted or being pulled out of context and became defensive.

And, maybe it's hard to believe, but I didn't buy my IS-F solely for performance reasons. I bought it because I simply wanted it. My IS350 was a non-nav, non Mark Levinson, non Sport model and no bluetooth. Why wouldn't I want to upgrade if I could? If you drove a base 318 wouldn't you want a loaded 335 as a DD?

And yeah, let's stop feeding the troll so I don't have to keep on visiting this stupid thread.

no i post 68 a day to make up for weekends

Whats up everyone. I met toothdoc that day at the track, he's a cool guy and he wasnt bashing the 335i at all, The track sucked the best I got that day was a 12.9@109. I should be around a 12.3@113. The track was not prepped at all. He car is fast and I actually hated lexus cars because I owned one and never thought that they would make a worthwhile sports car but after racing with him and driving in his car I actually have respect for it and I think the same feeling is mutual for him regarding the 335i. Anyways enjoy your cars and keep the personal shit out of it.

Even a standalone SSTT 335i beat the IS-F down the 1/4, not surprised by the results here


did anyone find out if that was a e93 in that video anyways.

I'm glad everything is getting worked out in here, but just remember to take it easy on the name-calling and personal attacks.

Lexus:

fake fender vents? fake exhaust pipes? cheesy plastic engine cover?
the Lexus has no Limited slip diff??
Motor Trend on the ISF sept 2008

steering "really loses sensitivity when honking it"
"but the car understeers heavily at the limit" and the "wheel feels disconnected at that point".
and it "plows hard" when pushed.
and inside "the nav screen and buttons come right out of the Prius".
and for those that think the M3 is too heavy? try over 3800# for the F.

Actually you're crap. Especially about lying that you smoked a 420hp RS4 with your 306hp 645.

[gbb357]

BTW, why so much hate in this forum. I go to several forums including Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, and even 6speedonline with Porsche owners, and never have i experienced so much hate. I just don't get it.

???

MBworld and audizine/audiworld have just as much hate (if not more when the 335i was hitting its stride in the mags/reviews).

I have to say the ClubLexus doesn't have all that much hate, but there are some funny kill threads there which I find hard to believe.

Hate? You mean against a guy who laughed that an IS-FAIL smoked a stock 335 and then runs a pathetic 13.2 1/4 mile and gets smoked by 2 other 335's at the track? Yeah, hate the troll...

Regardless who or what, hate is hate. Toothdoc already told you it wasn't him on that video. And another 335i owner have defended him for being a cool guy and does not hate on BMW's. I'm talking about the hate on Lexus or other brands in general that is not BMW.

All Cars Are Garbage Compared To M3!

And it was also beat by a 135i in lap time.


135i - Tech Sheet

M3 - Tech Sheet
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/.../photo_16.html


Motor Trend 2.74 Reno Fernley Raceway Lap Times:

M3 sedan - 154.2 sec.

135i - 156.34 sec.

IS-F - 158.6 sec.


What happened to the so-called "M3 killer"? It isn't even a 135i killer.

And the EVO X beats the M3, ISF, 135i, and C63. Does it make it necessarily a better car than these cars. Of course not. And how often and how many owners do you think will take these cars to a track course and explore it's full potential, i'm guessing not too many. My point is the M3 & ISF have identical straightline performance figures, in other words, the 4 seconds "beating" it gave the ISF does'nt necessarily paint the whole picture. Is the M3 a better all around performance car, yes it is, better than the C63, ISF, and even the mighty RS4. Multiple comparisons have proven this.
